Ensberg delivers game winner

After the Marlins botched Ensberg's foul pop-up, he made them pay with a seeing-eye grounder between third and short with the bases loaded in the bottom of the night. Astros win 4-3. Qualls threw two strong innings in relief to pick up the win.

The game was not broadcast in Austin tonight so I'm going off of highlights and stats. Looks like Wanda Rodriguez had a decent pitching line. He left with a lead but unfortunately Rick White (welcome to the Texaco bullpen) blew the lead.

In other Astros' news, the team called up Matt Albers to replace Jason Jennings in the rotation. I have no issue with them calling up Albers, but frankly I would've loved to have seen them plug Lidge into the rotation.
