Backe Wins!!

Brandon Backe became the first Astros starting pitcher to record a win this season. The other three wins had all belonged to relievers. Tonight Backe pitched a tough five innings, leaving the game with a five to nothing lead. The bull pen came through with four scorless innings to maintain the shutout of the Marlins.

Lance Berkman hit another homer tonight. A much better start for the 08 season than last night.
