Great pitching beats a piss-poor offense - Exhibit T

The Astros ran their winning streak to three after Erstad scored Bourn in the 9th inning for the only run of the game.

Moehler came out after three innings and one walk - as previously mentioned. How did the other pitchers fare?
Fulchino (who is turning in a great Spring): 2IP, 1H, 1K
Brocail: 1IP
Wright: 1IP, 1BB
Valverde: 1IP, 1H, 2K
Geary: 1IP, 1 win

The Astros collected seven hits, including one from this "Pudge" character, Matsui, Berkman, Lee, Tejada, Johnson and Abercrombie. Bourn also had an SB and a CS. Seven hits, seven singles, one run, one win. Chris Johnson also recorded an error.

Impressive performance, especially as there were a number of Nationals starters in the lineup, and they were held to two hits.
