Lee's home run lifts Astros over Mets
Baseball Betting Lines
08/19/2010 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Carlos Lee's titantic three-run home run proved to be the difference, as Houston edged New York, 3-2, to split a four- game set at Minute Maid Park.
Lee's round-tripper made a loser of Pat Misch (0-2), who surrendered just four hits and the three runs in six-plus frames. Jeff Francoeur and Chris Carter drove in the lone runs for the Mets, who have dropped four of six.
Bud Norris (6-7) picked up the victory, allowing just two runs on two hits with four strikeouts and two walks over seven frames. Hunter Pence had two hits and scored a run for the Astros, who have won four of six.
Miffed by Misch through the first six frames, the Astros used two well-placed hits and one big swing of the bat to change the game's complexion. Angel Sanchez and Pence each singled before Lee crushed a first-pitch floating slider off the facade deep over the left-field hall wall for a 3-2 edge.
The Astros bullpen kept the Mets at bay and Brandon Lyon worked a flawless ninth for his fifth save of the season.
The Mets scored both of their runs in the fourth with the aid of just one hit. Angel Pagan walked and David Wright was plunked by a pitch before Ike Davis moved both runners up one base on a grounder to short. Francoeur's grounder to short plated Pagan and Carter's single to deep short allowed Wright to scamper across the plate for the two-run lead.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
