Wigginton singles to begin the 2nd. Ramirez made him look foolish with a changeup on the previous pitch but decided to come back with a fastball and Wigginton lined it into RF for a single.

Quintero grounds into a force out. Keppinger has had problems at second base tonight with the doubleplay.
Wolf pops out.
Matsui flies out to the warning track in CF. 2-0 Astros after two innings.

Ramirez throws a 1-2-3 third inning. He doesn't seem to have his strikeout stuff tonight like he did in his first four appearances.
2-0 Astros after three innings.
Cabrera gets rung up on a low 3-2 pitch. Too bad Ramirez isn't getting that the strikezone as Wolf. RR threw a 1-0 pitch to Berkman on the corner last inning that was called a ball.
Hanigan singles, Patterson grounds out, and Janish walks. Two on for Ramirez with two outs.
