Houston vs. Pittsburgh, 28 May 2006

1:35 PM, FSNP, KDKA

Fernando Nieve (1-3, 5.36) vs. Oliver Perez (2-5, 6.04). Nieve has had a tough May, getting knocked around by the Brewers, Rockies and Giants. Unlike some of the youngsters the Astros have had pitching recently, though, Nieve has some upside. He has an excellent fastball but - stop me if you've heard this one before - his changeup isn't so hot.
