A day after the Diamondbacks blasted two grand slams, they managed just two hits against the Astros pitchers. Starter Roy Oswalt allowed just one hit over eight innings and walked only two. Both hits came off the bat of Stephen Drew.
Ty Wiggington had his second straight three hit game. He drove in all three runs on a mistake by Randy Johnson in the first inning. He sent the ball deep into the bleachers bringing in all the run support that Oswalt needed.
Miguel Tejada had two hits in the game. Hunter Pence played his part in keeping Oswalt’s efforts at a shutout intact when he threw out Chris Snyder trying to score on a base hit.
