The Grapefruit Leagues is over, but there's still a little bit of spring season baseball to be played. The Astros have 2 left; both against the Tigers at the "Juice Box", with the first being today at 7:05PM CST. The Astros send lefty Wandy Rodriguez to the hill against Jeremy Bonderman.
Wandy has had a rough spring training. He's only pitched 8 1/3 innings due to injury problems(strained muscle in his side) and in those 8 1/3 innings gave up 5 runs to give him a 5.40 ERA. A positive note about Wandy though, he's only walked 3 batters and struck out 8. Hopefully Wandy can have a productive outing and puts the injuries behind him.
