The Astros get great pitching from Oswalt and Lidge as they shut out the Marlins 1-0. The Marlins pitching was good but not great; the Astros just couldn’t string many hits together. The only run scored on a wild pitch. The Marlins walked five batters while striking out seven, and allowed just four hits. It’s a tough loss for Girardi in his first game managing, but it won’t surprise me if his pitching staff is better than his offense all year.
