Please excuse the light blogging this week. I have been working on a big project, so not much time for the old blog.
But even light blogging cannot stop the Stros, who won their sixth of seven games on the just concluded homestand by beating the Pirates 5-2 on a getaway day afternoon game at the Juice Box. Wade Miller scattered 6 hits over 7 and a third innings and didn’t walk anyone, which is a key to for him to do well. Bags and Morgan Ensberg had the key hits for the Stros, who are now 18-10, in first place in the NL Central, and tied with Anaheim for the best record in MLB right now.
That may not last long, though. Tim Redding, who has wavered between mediocre and awful in four starts this season, gets the nod again tomorrow in the first game of a weekend series with the Braves in Atlanta. Roy O and Andy Pettitte are scheduled to pitch the weekend games for the Stros.
