Pressly rolled through a perfect ninth inning on just eight pitches to keep the game tied at 3-3. He then forced two ground balls in the 10th inning, one to move Nick Solak over to third and another to bring Solak home for a Texas victory.

EDGE Analysis

He entered with Houston leading 6-3 and the bases loaded courtesy of Ryne Stanek's wildness. Pressly squelched the uprising by getting former Astro Tony Kemp to ground out after five pitches. When the Astros went on to score two runs in the top of the ninth inning to take a four-run lead, manager Dusty Baker had Andre Scrubb mop up instead of giving Pressly the opportunity for a four-out save. Pulling Pressly, who had not pitched since May 15, potentially keeps him available if needed to pitch both Friday and Saturday at Texas.

Pressly earned the save against Seattle on Tuesday, pitching a perfect inning and striking out one.

EDGE Analysis

Pressly came on in the ninth to protect a two-run lead and made quick work of the Mariners to notch his third save.

Pressly (2-0) gained his second win Friday, when the Astros plated three in the bottom of the 10th inning against the Angels. He allowed two unearned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out three over two innings.

EDGE Analysis

Pressly allowed his first two runs of the season in the top half of the extra inning but was spared the loss by Houston's offense. It was the second consecutive game in which he's pitched, so after throwing three innings and 42 pitches the last two nights, Houston's closer may not be available to throw Saturday.
