This was the second time in the past week that Ryan Vogelsong has pitched against the Astros, and although he didn't pitch poorly, he didn't pitch great either.
His stat lines against the Astros the past week are:
August 19th at Houston - 7 IP - 4H - 5R - 2ER - 4BB - 3SO (Loss)
August 25th at San Francisco - 7.1 IP - 6H - 3R - 3ER - 4BB - 4SO (Loss)
As you can see they are very similar. Although both starts were solid, they weren't the prettiest either. It can be put on record that the Astros are responsible for two of Vogelsong's four losses. A pretty commendable feat with how he has pitched this year.
Another note for tonight is the emergence of Henry Sosa. He put up an outstanding start, while only on three days rest! The Astros were in need of someone to step up on the staff, now that Lyles has been demoted to AAA to convert to a RP due to his inning limit..
Henry Sosa's stat line for the night -
6 IP - 4H - 1R - 1ER - 3BB - 3SO. Not bad for his 3rd career start, and on short rest!
Also making headlines for the night is newly acquired CF Jordan Schafer. He hit his first home run in an Astros uniform!
His statline for the night was -
2/4 - 3 Runs - 1RBI - 1BB - 1SO and a SB. If he keeps this up, it will make me miss Bourn alot less.. Solid night for Schafer. Congratulations!
Among other notable statlines of the night -
JD Martinez - 2/3 - 2RBIS - 2 Doubles. This makes 10 doubles and 24 RBI on the season for the Latin Lumber.
Brian Bogusevic - 0/3 - 1BB - 2SB's. Suprising speed for the 27 year old ex-pitcher!
Jose Altuve with another SB on the season to make it 3
Mark, the Shark, Melancon recorded his 13th save this season.
Tommorow the Astros are back in action against the Bay Warriors, and we are sending out our recently promoted JA Happ versus the San Franciso Giants Madison Bumgarner.
Lets hope that the JA(in't) Happ(ening) moniker I have given him drops off after his recent call up.
Lets keep the streak going!
Go Astros!
