Considering this game happened around lunch time, I have to give Carlos Lee credit for keeping his concentration long enough to hit a home run. Impressive!
Tommy Manzella, fresh off being called back up to the Majors following the injury to Clint Barmes, went 1-3 with a triple and an RBI.
Houston takes on the Phillies in Grapefruit League action tomorrow. They open the season in Philly on Friday.
