Farmstros correspondant in Spring Training, Jonathan Fixler is on the roster for the Boston game and could see his first big league action this spring.
Listen to the games here. If you are in the Houston area, listen to the game on 790 KBME.

Update on Lyon
According to Zach Levine, he’s scheduled to pitch in his first spring game Thursday. So look forward to that.
David Coleman - March 16, 2010
No score through the first two innings
David Coleman - March 16, 2010 via mobile
Oswalt cruised through three, seven ground ball outs, only one over the minimum faced.

got through four unscathed
Evan Hochschild - March 16, 2010
Gervacio, Lindstrom, and Fulchino pitched very well today.

Astros shutting out Red Sox 3-0 in the ninth
I’m sorry I missed the first eight innings.
Joe in Birmingham - March 16, 2010
Wesley Wright having trouble getting the last out in the 9th. Gave up a double and a walk with 2 outs.
clack - March 16, 2010
Wright continues with control problems but gets a smash to shortstop and Astros barely get the force out. Game over. Astros win.

Astros play Yankees at 6;05 CST tonight
Split squad games against Red Sox and Yankees on one day
Joe in Birmingham - March 16, 2010
Astros beat Red Sox 3-0
Game ends on a double play.
Joe in Birmingham - March 16, 2010
oops - not a double play.
Joe in Birmingham - March 16, 2010
I don’t think it was a DP….Astros had two outs already.
clack - March 16, 2010
I wonder when
Wesley will get his chance to start a game or two?
Evan Hochschild - March 16, 2010
I’m not sure he will. He hasn’t had the best spring so far. And Mills seems to have enough trouble scheduling the primary starter candidates.

Oswalt is player of the game on the radio broadcast.
clack - March 16, 2010
If Oswalt is back and pitching well, that’ll go a long way to making the Astros respectable in 2010.

Apparently Yankees game isn’t broadcast anywhere.
clack - March 16, 2010
It's not on mlb.com
I thought maybe it was on ESPN but ESPN has NIT all around.
You’d think Yankees would cover everything. For that matter, I ’d think Astros would broadcast the game. It cannot be that far to the game site.
(Yankees lead in the fifth, 3-1)
