Maholm allowed six hits and two walks in smoothly working through a pitch count of 95. He struck out two. Closer Matt Capps gave up a Lance Berkman home run...

Los Angeles was shut out for the fifth time this season despite managing 11 base runners. Quintero's home run broke a scoreless tie and the Astros picked up two more runs in the seventh, one of them coming when Quintero...

Tonight's pitching matchup is Greinke v. Russ Ortiz . Russ Ortiz is one of the greatest competitors Dayton Moore has ever known. The Royals face off against beloved former teammates Jeff Keppinger , Tim Byrdak , and Jeff Fulchino tonight. And yet, somehow, the Astros are 32-35. I plead National League.
