Astros look to make it two straight wins over Rockies

Jun 29, 2007 - 2:04 PM Colorado (38-41) at Houston (33-46) 8:05 pm EDT

HOUSTON (Ticker) -- The Houston Astros will try to build off their recent success when they welcome in the Colorado Rockies on Friday.

In Thursday's series opener, Carlos Lee delivered a walk-off grand slam in the 11th inning to hand closer Brian Fuentes his third straight blown save as Houston posted an 8-5 victory.

Astros second baseman Craig Biggio recorded his 3,000th career hit, becoming the 27th player in league history to reach the historic milestone.

Chris Sampson (6-5, 3.71 ERA) takes the mound for Houston. In his last start, the righthander allowed three runs and five hits in seven innings for his third straight no-decision at Texas on Sunday.

Colorado counters with Josh Fogg (3-6, 4.81), who was tagged for five runs and seven hits through seven frames of a 5-0 setback to the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday.

Fogg struggled in his last outing against Houston earlier this month, surrendering six runs and 11 hits in five innings on June 7 at Coors Field. He is 3-6 all-time in the series.
