Astros' Tony Kemp picks up first major league hit

Tony Kemp has always stuck out as an Astros prospect, doing anything asked and hustling throughout. Kemp got his first taste of Major League action on Tuesday as a pitch runner. He made the most of his first major league start on Wednesday.

Kemp entered the game as the Astros left fielder, batting in the No. 9 hole. Kemp smacked the first pitch he saw from the White Sox starter Mat Latos down the left-field line for a double -- putting two runners in scoring position.

Kemp finished the night, going 2-for-3 with a walk. Fellow rookie Colin Moran went 0-for-3 with a walk in his debut.

For his efforts, Kemp is in the starting lineup for the second straight night. He'll have a much tougher test on the mound. Chris Sale starts on the mound for the White Sox on Thursday. Sale is 8-0 with a 1.67 ERA in eight starts this season.
