Astros Fall To Yankees in Spring Setback
Houston lost 8 to 4 to New York as relief pitching faltered late. The Astros, 15-29 in exhibition play, face Atlanta Tuesday night in Cocoa with Mike Cuellar facing Denny Lemaster in a clash that could draw about 30,000 fans. Houston has depth questions in infield and pitching, while the bullpen remains thin and unresolved for a hoped above .500 finish. Yankee bats broke loose Sunday, denying Houston a seventh-inning rally with Hal Renifert shutting the door after bases loaded danger.
