St Louis Cardinals vs Houston Astros
8:05 PM ET, April 28, 2011
Minute Maid Park, Houston, Texas
Kyle McClellan has the chance to become the St. Louis Cardinals' second four-game winner named Kyle in as many nights.
McClellan seeks to follow up another strong outing from Kyle Lohse and remain undefeated when the Cardinals conclude their three-game road set against the Houston Astros on Thursday.
Lohse pitched seven scoreless innings Wednesday to improve to 4-1 as the Cardinals (13-11) held off a late Houston rally to even this series with a 6-5 victory.
Now, McClellan (3-0, 2.16 ERA) has the chance to match Lohse's win total as he concludes a stellar first month as a full-time member of the starting rotation.
The right-hander, who has spent his first three seasons pitching out of the St. Louis bullpen, has allowed no more than two runs in any of his four outings. He gave up two runs in six innings of a 4-2 win over Cincinnati on Friday, in what was technically a relief appearance after substitute starter Miguel Batista faced one batter before a lengthy rain delay.
