Vargas goes for fourth straight win

Jun 26, 2007 - 1:09 PM Houston (32-44) at Milwaukee (44-32) 8:05 pm EDT

MILWAUKEE (Ticker) - Claudio Vargas seeks his fourth straight win as the Milwaukee Brewers take on the Houston Astros on Tuesday.

Vargas (6-1, 4.09 ERA) battled through five innings, allowing four runs and four hits with four walks for a 7-5 triumph over the San Francisco Giants last Wednesday.

The Dominican righthander is 3-2 with a 3.60 ERA in seven lifetime matchups against Houston. On April 29, Vargas tossed five scoreless innings as the Brewers posted a 3-1 win at Houston.

In the series opener, Ben Sheets picked up his ninth win and J.J. Hardy returned to the lineup after missing three games to hit his 18th homer as Milwaukee posted a 6-1 victory.

Houston's Wandy Rodriguez (4-6, 4.20) takes the ball with the hopes of winning his second straight outing. Last Wednesday, he allowed four runs and five hits in 6 1/3 innings in a no-decision at Anaheim.

In his previous against the Brewers, Rodriguez was hammered for six runs in six frames of a 6-4 setback on April 21 here.

Houston second baseman Craig Biggio, who was rested in the series opener, is four hits shy of 3,000 in his career.
