Milwaukee Brewers vs Houston Astros
2:05 PM ET, September 15, 2010
Minute Maid Park, Houston, Texas
The Houston Astros won't be going to the postseason barring a miracle, but they've been one of the best clubs in baseball since the final days of July. That's also when they acquired J.A. Happ, and it's likely no coincidence.
Happ seeks to win his fourth straight decision and pitch the Astros to a three-game sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers when the NL Central rivals conclude their series Wednesday afternoon at Minute Maid Park.
Houston (70-75) obtained Happ (6-2, 2.78 ERA) from Philadelphia in the July 29 Roy Oswalt trade, and the left-hander has not disappointed since his arrival. He's allowed three runs or fewer in eight of nine starts for the Astros, including his last six. Happ has been nearly untouchable over his last four outings, going 3-0 with a 1.65 ERA.
He limited Los Angeles to one run Friday, but ran his pitch count up to 102 and left after five innings, failing to get a decision in Houston's 11-inning, 4-2 defeat.
