The Houston Astros beat the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday by a final score of 8-7. The big bat for the Astros was our very own Hunter Pence. Hunter went 3-4 with two runs, three RBIs and his third homerun of the spring. He also had a double and a stolen base.
Miguel Tejada, who was Houston’s biggest offseason acquisition, also had a big day. Tejada went 4-4 with one run, two RBIs and his first homerun of the spring. On the pitching mound, Shawn Chacon was very good. Chacon started and pitched five innings, giving up only three hits and one run.
With the win, the Astros improved their spring record to 10-12. Houston next plays against the Washington Nationals on Thursday.
