WASHINGTON -- Entrusted with a late-inning role in his Houston Astros debut Saturday,Kyle Farnsworth had a rocky showing. 

Farnsworth entered for the eighth inning with the Astros leading the Chicago White Sox by three runs. 

The result: walk, double, sac fly, pop out, walk, single. 

The ex-Met Farnsworth departed with the Astros' lead trimmed to one run and two on base. Darin Downs entered and bailed him out by retiring Conor Gillaspie on a foul out to third base. 

Houston ultimately held on for the 6-5 win.

The Astro's won didn't they? He only gave up 2 runs. Another reliever may have given up 4.

I see another ex Yankee A-Jax is no longer the Tigers leadoff hitter, he's batting 5th now. Interesting.

 

Looked up his numbers and saw his OBP was only .340. That would explain the move...

Farnsworth hasnt been a Yankee for years. Chas please move this to MLB forum

You haven't been a Yankee fan for years.

I've been a Yankee fan longer than you have been breathing SFB.

Farnsworth last pitched for the Yankees in 2008. Who gives a crap what he is doing now.

7 years is one dog year. That might explain this.
