Jennings makes Astros debut
Apr 3, 2007 - 1:57 PM Pittsburgh (1-0) at Houston (0-1) 8:05 pm EDTHOUSTON (Ticker) -- Jason Jennings will try and help the Houston Astros rebound from a difficult Opening Day loss.
The righthander will face Ian Snell in the second game of a three-game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday.
The Astros acquired Jennings from Colorado in the offseason for three players. Jennings and Woody Williams were added to replace Andy Pettitte, who signed with the New York Yankees, and Roger Clemens, who has yet to announce if he plans to play in 2007.
Jennings went 9-13 with a 3.78 ERA in 212 innings for Colorado last season.
Houston's shaky bullpen faltered in a 4-2, 10-inning loss in Monday's opener. Brad Lidge and Chad Qualls gave up home runs in back-to-back innings to spoil a strong start from Roy Oswalt, who gave up just one run in 7 2/3 innings.
Xavier Nady stunned the sellout crowd with a game-tying homer off Lidge in the ninth and Jason Bay won it with a two-run shot off Qualls in the 10th.
Snell had 14 wins in his first full season in the majors, the most for a Pittsburgh starter since 1999.
