'Stros back in front, 6-3

Scott Dohmann is on to pitch the sixth and the Astros are hitting him. Not hard, but they are hitting him.

A soft single here, a soft single there.

New right fielder John Rodriguez didn’t help matters when he missed a shoestring catch, playing the ball into a double. Also, new double-play combo, shortstop Reid Brignac and second baseman Elliot Johnson, fail to turn a double play.

Then Dohmann hurts himself with a wild pitch that plates another run.

Astros 6, Rays 3

Brignac is playing his first game since breaking the small toe on his left foot when he was struck by a pitch during an intrasquad game.

Zoby looked good at first, though.
