Marlins 3, Astros 0
Anthony Leonelli, the Marlins first round draft pick in 2004, tossed the first complete game shutout in Marlins history as the Fish edged a tough Astros team 3-0 at Clifford Field.

Reliever Ron Viola walked Andy Herr (0-1, R, HBP, BB) and Matt King (2-2, R, BB) to open the frame before they were advanced by a sacrifice bunt by Karl Cyr. Joe Montoya (1-3, R, 3B, 2RBI) then provided the big blow of the inning, lining a deep triple to left scoring Herr and King. Montoya then scored on a single by Jason Leone.
Viola had two hits for the Astros including a double, and Tyler Walsh had a single and stolen base. |

Astros 3, Athletics 2
SK tossed a CG on two days rest.
Kennedy struck out nine Athletics to give the Astros the one-run win.
The 'stros played errorless defense and plated all three of their runs in the fourth. With men on 1st and 3rd, Dave Kwajewski executed a perfect hit and run to drive in Ron Viola. Then with two outs, Tyler Walsh delivered a single up the middle that scored Rich Newman (2-for-3) and Kwajewski. The 'stros never gave up the lead.
Santi Mazzeo brought it within one in the fifth by homering with Pedro Gil on base, but Kennedy clamped down and got stronger. After the home run he did not allow a baserunner.
Rob Sherman took the loss pitching well through seven innings. He struck out 12 and walked none. Gil had three hits and a SB for the A's.
Neither shortstop recorded a chance in the field. |
|
  |
| How do we not have Kennedy's picture? Kwajewski and Walsh were the RBI men. |

Cardinals 3, Astros 0
What more can be said about All Star Jeff James? The Cards needed his arm on All Star eve and he puts team first and threw a complete game 4 hit shutout, walking none and striking out 10.
It was a pitcher's duel between James and the battery of Mike Pelletier and Matt Abbott as both teams' pitchers threw up bagels until the 6th when the Cards touched Abbott for 3 runs on a Chris Caprio sac fly and error and an RBI single by Vincent Paquette.
Offensively, the Cards were led once again by Vincent Paquette (2-3, 2B, 1RBI), whose double was hit so hard that the ball had hair on it! |

Sean Kennedy fired a one hitter and shut out the Reds to lead the Astros to a 1-0 victory in a fabulous pitcher's duel at Fallon. Allowing only an infield hit, Kennedy out-pitched Sean Magee who also turned in a terrific performance in his first outing of the season.
Cory Edgar won it for the Astros with a hard hit ball to left center with two outs in the top of the seventh. Steve Magsam scored and the Astros had all they needed. Magsam was on base after pinch running for Rich Newman who led off the inning with a lined single up the middle.
Tony Ricupero ended the game with an unassisted double play. It marked the second straight game the Astros had ended with a twin killing and the third win in the last at bat.
