(My Sportsbook) - Wade Miller (0-3) was tagged for five runs in five innings of work in a 11-1 setback to the Atlanta Braves. Miller allowed eight hits, while striking out two and walking two. Jeff Kent had two hits for the Astros, who have dropped six of their last seven games. Taking the mound for the Astros tonight is lefthander Jeriome Robertson, who is 1-3 with a 7.99 ERA in five starts this season. In his last outing, Robertson was saddled with the loss after surrendering six runs on six hits over just three innings of a 10-2 setback to the Montreal Expos on Friday. He also struck out three and walked two. Robertson has never faced the Braves in his brief major league career. The Astros were held to a season-low five hits on Wednesday. |
