Mike Burrows Makes First Career Start Against Cardinals

Right-hander Mike Burrows (1-3, 6.55 ERA) takes the mound for the Houston Astros in the series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals at Daikin Park. Despite pitching in the NL Central for the Pirates last season, this appearance marks the first time Burrows has faced the Cardinals in his career. He looks to stabilize the rotation in this Sunday afternoon matchup.
