Ryan Spilborghs went Willie Mays on Lance Berkman’s blast in the fourth inning. Running with this back to the infield, Spilborghs sprinted up Tal’s Hill in center at Minute Maid Park, catching the ball over his shoulder. Spilborghs, starting in center to give Dexter Fowler a rest, led off the third with a double and scored on Clint Barmes’ triple. Spilborghs garnished his performance with a solo homer to left in the fourth.
Twice is nice.
Catcher Edwin Bellorin, brought up from Triple-A to replace Yorvit Torrealba, slapped a single to left in the eighth. It was his second career big-league hit.
Groovin’.
Ian Stewart, like Garrett Atkins, might finally be finding his groove at the plate. After hitting a three-run homer Wednesday night, he went 3-for-4, bumping his average to .207. It’s the first time he has been above .200 since May 17.
