Preview
How many other ways can the Astros find a way to throw the game away against the Rangers? I don't know, but I'm certain we have a good shot at finding another way tonight.
On the mound for the Astros is Erik Bedard, who is coming off of one his rougher starts this season. He failed to get out of the fifth inning in Oakland, allowing five runs on seven hits and four walks. Thus far in 2013, Bedard has faced the Rangers' lineup four times. Over 21.1 innings, he has a 3.80 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in those appearances. Most recently, he held the Rangers to three runs over 6.2 innings on August 9.
