Astros look to get back on track vs. Reds

May 1, 2007 - 3:17 PM Cincinnati (12-13) at Houston (10-14) 8:05 pm EDT

HOUSTON (Ticker) -- The last time the Houston Astros faced the Cincinnati Reds they were riding high. That is not the case this time around.

Matt Albers (0-0, 3.75 ERA) makes the start for the Astros as they begin a three-game series with the Reds on Monday.

Houston has lost eight of 10 since taking a two-game series from Cincinnati on April 18-19 as part of a five-game winning streak.

Albers looks for his first major league win as he continues to fill in for the injured Jason Jennings, who has been out since April 13 with tendinitis in his elbow.

In his last outing, Albers allowed three runs and four hits in six innings as the Astros fell, 4-3 in 16 innings to Pittsburgh on Wednesday.

Albers' opponent, Bronson Arroyo (0-2, 2.86) has had no run support and is still looking for his first win. The righthander has allowed just four runs in his last 27 2/3 innings and has allowed more than two runs just once.

Arroyo held St. Louis to one run and five hits over seven innings in a no-decision on Wednesday.
