After last night’s Astro beating of the Marlins, the Florida team took revenge and shot four taters in today’s contest, beating Houston 9-3 in the series finale at Dolphin Stadium.

Despite the fact Taylor Buchholz painted zeros on the scoreboard for the first four frames, trouble started brewing on the fifth, with two dingers: a solo shot by Wes Helms and Hanley Ramirez drove in three with his shot.

The Astros didn’t win this one, but there’s a feeling that they’re starting to play better baseball; and that’s something that happens progressively. We hope this road trip ends up being productive.
