Sanchez looks to lead Marlins past Astros

Apr 16, 2007 - 1:55 PM Florida (6-5) at Houston (4-6) 8:05 pm EDT

HOUSTON (Ticker) -- Anibal Sanchez looks for his second straight win for the Florida Marlins in the opener of a two-game series against the Houston Astros.

Sanchez (1-0, 5.40 ERA) gave up three runs in six innings in a 5-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on April 9.

The Venezuelan righthander was brilliant in his only appearance against Houston last season, allowing just two hits in seven frames on July 14.

Alfredo Amezaga drove in two runs in Florida's 8-4 setback to the Atlanta Braves in the finale of a weekend series on Sunday.

Wandy Rodriguez (0-1, 3.86) takes the ball for the Astros. The lefthander was solid in his last outing, giving up just three runs and four hits in seven innings, but Houston fell, 4-2, to St. Louis on April 6.

Rodriguez is 1-1 with a 6.17 ERA in two starts and two relief appearances vs. the Marlins.

Houston All-Star Lance Berkman has a .309 career batting average with 11 homers and 38 RBI against Florida. He has just two hits over his last five games this season.
