Brett Myers has been the most consistent pitcher in the Houston Astros’ starting rotation this season. He’s also pitched consistently well against the Pittsburgh Pirates of late. Looking to win a fourth straight start against the Pirates, Myers tries to help the Astros to a seventh consecutive home victory over their NL Central foe Friday night. Myers extended his franchise record for consecutive starts of at least six innings to open a season to 23 when he allowed four runs in six innings of a 5-2 loss at Milwaukee on Saturday. The last pitcher to begin a season with at least 23 starts of six innings or more was Curt Schilling, who had 35 straight with Arizona in 2002.

The right-hander has been even better versus Pittsburgh of late, posting a 2.11 ERA while winning his last three starts. He is 2-0 with a 2.63 ERA against the Pirates this season. Though the Astros have lost six of seven overall, Myers gives them a good chance to improve to 7-0 at home against the Pirates. Houston has outscored Pittsburgh 33-13 at Minute Maid Park this season. Houston rookie Chris Johnson is 3 for 21 against the Pirates this year, but is batting .441 with a homer and 12 RBIs in his last nine games. The third baseman is hitting .361 with five home runs and 33 RBIs in 48 games this season. Though Hunter Pence went 2 for 10 while the Astros lost two of three to Atlanta this week, he is 12 for 30 with two home runs and six RBIs against the Pirates in 2010. He is 6 for 16 against scheduled starter Ross Ohlendrof.
