ANAHEIM, Calif. - Throwing strikes is Brandon Walter's strength. The left-hander thrust by injuries into the Houston Astros rotation issued one walk across his first three major-league starts. He totaled seven over his 47⅔ innings at Triple-A this season.

Unfortunately, that fourth start was anything but impressive. The best thing Walter provided for the Astros was that he pitched six innings. Other than that, it's probably best to forget about this game.
