Red again

On Saturday, the Astros scored 13 runs while Craig Biggio had the day off, but if they had scored a few less on Saturday, maybe thay could have saved them for Sunday's 3-1 loss. Biggio did not get hit by a pitch, once again, and the Astros move on to Cincinnati to face the Reds again.

Kyle Lohse will be ready to greet the Astros tonight, with baseballs to throw at them. He has never plunked Biggio, and hasn't pitched since he plunked Brad Ausmus last week in Houston. Craig Biggio hasn't been plunked on May 7th since 2000 when Orel Hershiser hit him in 2 consecutive innings in a relief appearance for the Dodgers. Biggio was also plunked by Danny Jackson of the Cardinals on May 7, 1995.
