For being as young a team as there is in the league, the Astros didn't show it on opening night. They got an early lift in the 2nd, when LF, J.D. Martinez sent a rocket into the Crawford Boxes to put them up 1-0. They got a quality start out of Wandy Rodriguez, but his struggles in the 5th kept him from getting a decision in this one. With 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th, and trailing by 1, new Astros SS, Jed Lowrie sent a 2-2 fastball off the train tracks to tie the game up for the Astros. Unfortunately, Lowrie's celebration was short lived, as he jammed his wrist the next inning and is expected to miss 1-2 weeks. Both bullpens kept it deadlocked until the bottom of the 13th when 3B, Jimmy Paredes led off the inning with a single and took 2nd on a SAC bunt by Bud Norris. Leadoff hitter, Jason Bourgeois then collected his only hit of the night with a single up the middle scoring the winning run in Paredes.
