Double digits again
The Associated Press
What a great back-and-forth game. The Astros went up 2-0, but the Padres got the lead with a three-run homer by Adrian Gonzalez in the sixth inning. The Astros scored five more runs in the sixth and seventh innings. The Padres scored four of their own in the eighth before the Astros answered back with four for the 11-7 win in the eighth. That’s two games in a row where the Astros scored in the double digits.
Three random thoughts
- Jose Valverde got a blown save, but actually played the role of hero. The blown save came when he entered the game with one out in the eighth inning and a runner on third. Khalil Greene hit a sac fly to drive in the runner. But Valverde got out of the inning and the Astros scored four more runs to give Valverde the win.
- I’d like for E60 to come up with some report that Miguel Tejada is 35 tomorrow. Ever since the report came out that he’s actually 33, he has been red-hot. Tonight, he went 4-for-5 with a double and two RBI.
- Kaz Matsui had another multi-hit game since he’s come back from anal fissures. Tonight, he was 2-for-5 with two RBI and a double.
