Astros 2 Cubs 1
Another game, another Geoff Blum walk-off single. Another series, another two-of-three for Houston, making it four straight series wins, their longest run of 2009.
Like Wandy on Wednesday night, Russ Ortiz held Cubs hitters in check, allowing just three hits and no runs while striking out five in 5.1 IP. Too bad he's still issuing walks (three yesterday). But his ability to buckle down and get outs strand those charity baserunners extended his modest scoreless streak to 17.2 innings.
With Felipe Paulino on the 15-day DL, Brian Moehler is still in the rotation. Let's hope he takes a cue from Ortiz and gets his game right - or at not a liability.
Let's see if the Astros can take their winning ways on the road as they begin play in Arizona tonight.
