Making his spring debut, Chad Qualls gave up two runs and three hits in his inning versus the Braves on Sunday. This after he took a blown save in an intrasquad game last week. With Jesse Crain likely to start off on the DL, Qualls is the clear favorite to begin the season as the Astros' closer. However, if he struggles this month, the door will be open for Josh Fields.
