Inning killers

I'm a curious guy - though not sexually, and I got to wondering: Which Astro starter kills the most innings? Meaning, who GIDPs with one out, or who gives in to the 2-out pressure? Let's take a gander, and again, we're looking at regular starters. 2-out OBP is included to account for AB regulation...

1-out GIDPs:
Tejada: 6
Pudge: 5
Berkman: 5
Pence: 5
Lee: 4
Blum: 3
Matsui: 2
Bourn: 1

2-out outs:
Lee: 87
Tejada: 71
Pence: 69
Berkman: 63
Pudge: 53
Matsui: 50
Bourn: 45
Blum: 40

2-out OBP:
Blum: .293
Matsui: .296
Pudge: .321
Tejada: .324
Lee: .326
Bourn: .389
Pence: .412
Berkman: .429
