Felix Doubront picked up his third straight victory on Saturday, limiting the Astros to three runs on four hits and four walks over 6 2/3 innings of work. Doubront also matched his season high by strikeout out eight. The Astros had him on the ropes early on, scratching out a pair of runs in the first inning and loading the bases with one out, but he showed great poise to pitch out of the jam and settled in beautifully after that. He's off to a solid start to the season, posting a 3-0 record, 4.24 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 29/13 K/BB ratio through 23 1/3 innings. He'll face a much more difficult assignment next time out when he does battle against the Rangers in Arlington on Friday.
