Arizona 2, Houston 10
There was some hope that perhaps the Astros might let up on the gas some, having already clinched a playoff bye. Such was not the case. Davies was chased from the game after 4.1 innings. Then, in the sixth, Ian Kennedy managed to give up three home runs in only two-thirds of an inning. In all, Arizona pitching surrendered five home runs on the night. Meanwhile, Arizona’s offense was kept mostly in check, scoring only two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out ten times.
Astros Put On Power Show
It might not be such a good idea to have fastball-reliant flyball pitchers with mediocre secondaries pitching to the Astros in Houston.
