Astros starter Brandon Backe, who’d done so well so far, lasted three innings and got shelled for 10 hits, six runs (five earned) and a home run. Jose Valverde, who had been the Astros closer, went out and essentially pitched batting practice in the eighth inning: two hits, two earned runs and a home run. He has an ERA of 12.27. Of course, considering the score had been 8-2 when Valverde took the mound, he was essentially a mop-up pitcher today.
