Astros win series from D-backs; Wanda gets first win since last July

Two days in a row Garner has Loretta or Lamb and the line-up and glory be, the Astros win two in a row. Hopefully Garner will get over his Ensberg infatuation now and start playing the 'L' boys on a regular basis.

Wanda labored through five innings to get his first win in nearly a year. Pence had some big hits and made things happen on the basepaths ... again.

Also, farewell to Chris Burke who was sent down to Round Rock on Friday. Wherever your future in baseball takes you, be it with the Astros or another team, you will always have a special place in Astros' folklore (along with Jeff Kent and Billy Hatcher) for your game-winning HR in the 18 inning marathon that was game 4 of the 2005 NLDS against Atlanta.

Good luck to you Chris, I'm confident you'll be a gamer wherever you go, hopefully it will be with the Astros.
