Roy O gave the ‘Stros six strong innings and Lance Berkman hit his third career grand salami today as the Stros beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-4 to take two of three in the series. Berkman’s grand slam was unusual for the switchhitter because he hit it from the right side, which is his less productive side of the plate (his slugging percentage last season was 100 points less from the right side than it was from the left side).
The Stros now move on to St. Louis for a three game series before returning to Houston for a four game series with the Brew Crew beginning on Thursday.
