J.A. Happ gave the Houston Astros a quality start on Tuesday night as he picked up the victory in a 6-3 win for the New York Mets to move to 2-1 on the season. Happ pitched 6.1 innings, giving up three runs and striking out seven through 110 pitches. He gave up six hits and three walks in his effort. Closer Brett Myers pitched the ninth inning to pick up his sixth save of the season. Jed Lowrie contributed his third home run of the season in the first inning off of Mets starter Jonathan Niese. Lowrie now has three home runs and nine RBI"s on the season so far. Catcher Chris Synder also added a home run in the victory.

The Houston Astros continue to struggle to make up ground in the National League Central Division and currently sit five games behind the division-leading St. Louis Cardinals. Young second basement Jose Altuve has continued his hot start, sporting a .377 batting average so far in the month of April. He has also contributed four stolen bases and an impressive .403 OBP. At only 21 years of age, he has provided the fans in Houston with something to get excited about. Wandy Rodriguez also continues to pitch well, leading the pitching staff with a 1.42 earned run average in four starts.

After a forgetful 2011 campaign, the Houston Astros have gotten out a 3-3 start behind the timely hitting of rookie second basemen Jose Altuve who leads the team with a .368 batting average through the first six games. Altuve, a native of Venezuela, is only 21 years old and is taking advantage of his opportunity to secure the second base job in Houston for many years to come. Staff ace Wandy Rodrguez has provided the team with 11.2 solid innings in his first two starts of the season, allowing only three earned runs and striking out 7 over that timespan. The team will face off against the new-look Miami Marlins in a 3-game set this weekend.
