Where did the Astros find this guy?
Jose Siri was a one-man offensive wrecking crew. His solo homer and ninth-inning run scored after a pure-hustle double accounted for all the Astros’ scoring. It was all they would need behind another stellar Astros pitching performance.
Luis Garcia got his first start of the season and he faced a nightmarish (for him) challenge.
“It’s almost like the other team had a pitching coach who knew our pitchers’ innermost weaknesses.” (mhatter)
Oh yeah, they do. The D-Backs have long-time Astros coach Brent Strom. And maybe he knew more than most about the lefty/righty splits of Astros starter Luis Garcia.
