A visit to Kansas City has left the Houston Astros on the verge of some rare interleague success. After snapping a lengthy losing streak against AL opponents, the Astros have a chance to take the series with a second straight win over the Royals on Thursday night. Jason Michaels had three RBIs and Roy Oswalt pitched seven innings as Houston ended a six-game interleague skid with a 4-2 victory Wednesday. Interleague play as been rough on the Astros this season. They won their opener against Tampa Bay, but dropped the last two of the May 21-23 set and were swept at Yankee Stadium last weekend. Houston, however, bounced back from Tuesday’s 15-7 loss to the Royals despite recording five hits Wednesday. The Astros are 10-4 at Kauffman Stadium. After a solid effort from Oswalt, Brett Myers looks to rebound from his first defeat in a month when he faces the Royals for the first time.
The right-hander yielded three of the four runs he allowed in the first inning of a 4-3 loss to the Yankees on Friday. Myers, though, lasted seven innings in that game and has gone 2-1 with a 2.41 ERA in his last five starts. Myers is 6-6 with a 5.77 ERA in 20 interleague starts. David DeJesus has never faced Myers, but will look to continue his hot hitting against Houston. The Kansas City outfielder is 7 for 10 in the series after going 4 for 4 on Wednesday. DeJesus, 10 for 13 in his last three games, is a lifetime .436 hitter in 11 games against the Astros. Kansas City, 4-2 in its last six, called up Anthony Lerew from Triple-A Omaha to start Thursday. The move was made after the Royals placed Luke Hochevar on the disabled list with a strained right elbow Wednesday. Lerew, 5-3 with a 2.84 ERA at Omaha, went 0-1 with a 3.38 ERA in two starts for the Royals last season. The right-hander allowed three runs in two innings of a 13-3 loss at Boston in his lone interleague start May 19, 2007.
