Lineup for G26: Astros v. Diam'ndba'''

Alyson Footer has your lineup for G26 vs. Arizona:

1. Bourn - CF
2. Keppinger - 2B
3. Lee - LF
4. Berkman - 1B
5. Pence - RF
6. Feliz - 3B
7. Manzella - SS
8. Quintero - C
9. Oswalt - P

And if you look at the picture, you'll see that Gustavo Chacin is on the card. With Byrdak out, the Astros needed a lefty, and Chacin meets that need. When/If Chacin gets into the game, it will be his first major-league appearance since April 28, 2007.

McTaggart also notes that this will be the first game that Towles and Oswalt haven't worked together:

Oswalt and Towles appeared to have trouble communicating in his previous start, but Oswalt has been terrific this year.
