The Astros had lost four straight before beating Atlanta last night with six runs in the 7th inning against the Braves bullpen. J.A. Happ (2-1, 4.03 ERA), who came over from the Phillies in the Roy Oswalt trade, will try to rebound from being bombed in his last start against the Cardinals (7 ER in 1 inning). With Philadelphia, Happ was 2-0 with a 1.78 ERA in five career starts against the Braves. His mound opponent will be Jair Jurrjens (4-4, 4.48 ERA), who is 0-4 with a 7.63 ERA on the road this season.
