Just add this one to the growing list of ridiculous losses. Carlos Zambrano took a no-hitter into the 8th inning and glanced a three-run homer off the yellow line in right center.
You probably don't want to read the details, and I don't really want to write them. Suffice it to say, the only positive things that happened were Preston Wilson's 1-out single to break up the no-no and Dave Borkowski's four scoreless innings of relief work. Taylor Buchholz gave up all eight runs, including three bombs. Astros pitching has surrendered 10 longballs in their last four games.
Houston will try to break their four-game skid tomorrow, with Wandy Rodriguez pitching against Kerry Wood. First pitch is 7:05pm CDT.
