Losing pitcher: Brad Peacock (2-2, 5.28 ERA)

Peacock struggles

Brad Peacock had a rough outing giving up 7 earned runs in 3 2/3 innings against the Twins on Thursday. Twins catcher Jason Castro had a big day against his former team going 2 for 4 while driving in 4 runs in Minnesota's win over Houston.

Astros add former All-Star to starting rotation

MLB Network's Jon Heyman is reporting that starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi and the Astros have agreed on a 2-year year contract with a 3rd-year player option. Odorizzi is 30 years old with a 3.92 career ERA. This signing seems to indicate Framber Valdez will miss significant time with a fractured left ring finger. But overall, the Astros rotation is looking good with the addition of Odorizzi, and hopefully Valdez will return to the rotation at some point this season.
