Things might be just a little tight tonight at Turner Field. The Astros blew a 5-2 lead on Sunday as Adam LaRoche smacked a 3-run dinger off of Chad Qualls who worked an inning of relief following a 5 IP, 6 hit, 5 K performance by the Rocket.<O></O>
Andruw Jones and his non-relation Chipper are on opposite paths this series. AJ was 3 for 4 Sunday raising his series average to a hefty .563 while Chipper was 2 for 4 yesterday raising his average to .133 for the series. <O></O>
Roy Oswalt and Jaret Wright will start for their respective teams in this Game 5 tonight and the Houston right-hander picked up a ND in Game 2 while going 6+ IP and allowing a run on 8 hits. He’s given up 2 runs or less in 5 of his last 6 starts.<O></O>
Wright is under in 6 of his last 8 starts as the Braves have played under with him in 16 of 22 at night where his ERA is 2.30. Wright also has a sub-3.00 ERA at the Ted and <?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = ST1 /><ST1:CITY><ST1LACE>Atlanta</ST1LACE></ST1:CITY> is under in 11 of 16 with the right-hander at home.
