W: Brocail (1-0)
Well, that didn’t take long.
In his first appearance of the season for the Houston Astros, Jeff Keppinger drove in the winning run off of Cubs reliever Kevin Gregg. I bet that made the Astros think the trade was worthwhile, regardless of who that player-to-be-named-later is.
Wandy Rodriguez pitched well, going 6 innings and allowing 1 run. Ryan Dempster was good, too, allowing 2 runs in 6 innings. It was the offense that was a no-show last night, at least until Keppinger stepped into the box in the bottom of the 10th. Gotta love those extra innings games. And those Cubbie losses.
