Well, you knew the streak had to end. Houston's 8-game winning streak is over, courtesy of a 12-2 pummeling by the Arizona Diamondbacks. Starter Wandy Rodriguez gave up three first-inning runs and ended up walking six hitters and giving up four runs in two and a third innings.
Yikes.
Tim Byrdak had an interesting night. In 3 innings, he allowed six hits, six runs and three home runs. However, he walked none and struck out three. His season ERA is only 3.8.
Houston's now 62-60.
