From the Office of the County Clerk - G29: Astros in Anaheim/LA

Collin McHugh (4-0, 3.41) versus lefty Hector Santiago (2-2, 3.14)
The Astros slink into Anaheim after coming to earth with a bit of a thud.  A four-game sweep of the Mariners led in to a series against the Rangers, who have successfully discovered the Astros' kryptonite - waiver-wire pitchers.  The Astros bats suddenly when cold against three guys who have been very freely available on waiver wires over the years, and that led to a three-game slide.  
So tonight, the Astros decided to counter with their own waiver-wire pitcher, Collin McHugh.  His is a fabulous turn-around story, as he celebrates his first successful year in the big-leagues.
