Astros love Lopez in relief role
Posted in Fantasy Baseball by DuckSnort 45 days ago (http://feeds.cbssports.com)
Houston RP Wilton Lopez allowed two runs (both earned) on three hits and failed to get an out after taking over for SP Roy Oswalt on Thursday against the Rockies.

This came a day after he pitched a scoreless 10th inning in the Astros victory on Wednesday. He had allowed just one run over his previous nine appearances and posting a 1.04 ERA over that span. . "He's got the stuff to be a starter, like they've tried to make him in the past. But in our view, here's a guy that loves to be out there on the mound. He wants to pitch every day, even though his stuff kind of goes down after a couple of days," manager Brad Mills told MLB.com. Houston Astros - Brad Mills - Roy Oswalt - Hit - Earned run
