Lee looks to build off two-homer night against Pirates
Aug 24, 2007 - 2:21 PM Pittsburgh (55-71) at Houston (57-71) 8:05 pm EDTHOUSTON (Ticker) - Carlos Lee hopes to help the Houston Astros end their recent struggles when the they host the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday in the opener of a three-game series.
Lee blasted two homers and drove in five runs in the Astros' 7-6 setback to the Washington Nationals on Thursday. Prior to the game, Lee had not homered since August 6.
The Panama native is hitting .305 with 26 blasts and 102 RBI this season. It is Lee's third consecutive year with at least 100 RBI.
The Astros will send spot-starter Matt Albers (3-6, 6.14 ERA) to the mound. The 24-year-old Albers was tagged for five runs and seven hits with three walks over 5 2/3 innings in a 5-3 loss to the San Diego Padres on Sunday.
The Pirates will counter with Ian Snell (8-10, 3.93), who yielded four runs and eight hits with 10 strikeouts over seven solid frames in an 8-4 triumph over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.
The win snapped Snell's five-game losing streak in which Pittsburgh posted an 0-7 record during.
If the Pirates win, they would pull into a tie with the Astros for fifth place in the National League Central.
