another lack of hits

Craig Biggio failed to get hit by a pitch last night and didn't do much better hitting pitches himself, going 0-4. But, the Astros got the win, which is the important thing to everyone who isn't patiently tracking Craig Biggio's progress toward one particular obscure goal.

Today's pitcher for Cincinnati is Ramon Ortiz. Ortiz plunks just about 1% of the batters he faces, but none of his 39 hit batsmen was Craig Biggio.

Glendon Rusch hit Biggio with a pitch on June 1, 2004, and Andy Benes hit Biggio on June 1, 1996.
