Astros 4, Pirates 2

Raise the Jolly Roger! — The Pirates’ suffered from a rare letdown by the bullpen on Saturday night, but the offense was the true culprit in a disappointing loss to the Astros that evened this weekend’s series. Houston starter (and former Bucco) Erik Bedard kept the Bucs at bay for six innings. They notched two runs against him with seven [...]

Erik Bedard returns to PNC Park

Where have you gone, Andy Van Slyke? — On the mound tonight will be the Pirates' two big pitching acquisitions from the winter of 2011/2012. AJ Burnett worked out quite well. Erik Bedard did not. Astro Erik Bedard looks a lot like Pirate Erik Bedard; there are tons of strikeouts, a lot of walks, hits all over the places, and just tons and tons of pitches. In eight appearances and six starts, Bedard's only thrown 27 innings.  The mantra for this series is: beat the Astros and if that fails, at least get out of the way so that the Astros can beat themselves. First pitch tonight is at 7:05.

Extra inning: Astros’ Bedard sets season high in innings, says he’ll ‘never quit’

Houston Chronicle — PITTSBURGH — Every time it appears Erik Bedard’s career is edging toward completion, the 34-year-old lefthander reminds baseball he still belongs on the mound. Bedard was crucial to the Astros’ 4-2 11th-inning victory against the Pirates on Saturday at PNC Park, allowing just two runs and seven hits in six innings. Bedard’s previous season-high for innings was five, and he turned the ball over to four Astros relievers (Edgar Gonzalez, Wesley Wright, Jose Cisnero, Jose Veras), who held Pittsburgh to two hits and no runs in five frames. Bedard was banished to the bullpen May 5. He gave up 22 hit...

Erik Bedard pitches well in no-decision

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Astros starter Erik Bedard did not factor in the decision Saturday against the Rangers. Bedard, who made his sixth start, allowed two runs on four hits over five innings -- his longest outing of the year -- including a solo home run off the bat of Adrian Beltre in the second. Bedard was pulled after surrendering a leadoff single to Lance Berkman in the sixth but was charged with the run after Berkman came home to score on a two-run bomb off the bat of Nelson Cruz. The left-hander finished with a season-high seven strikeouts and one walk while earning a no-decision. Bedard is slated to face the...

Astros muster rally but not enough to top Rangers

Houston Chronicle — Box score Erik Bedard had just pitched better than anybody had a right to expect, holding the Rangers’ powerful lineup to one run over five innings. Up to that point, the veteran lefthander had actually out-dueled Japanese sensation Yu Darvish on what had been a storybook Saturday night for Astros third baseman Matt Dominguez. Then Astros manager Bo Porter pulled Bedard after Lance Berkman led off the sixth with a single Saturday night at Minute Maid Park. The hook made perfect sense considering Bedard’s struggles this season – not to mention the fact that he hadn’t pitched more than four inni...

Erik Bedard not worth your time

CBSSports.com Fantasy — As a familiar name with All-Star pedigree, Astros starter Erik Bedard's name is always going to cause Fantasy owners' ears to perk up. The team announced Wednesday Bedard will return to the rotation, after briefly being moved to the bullpen. But that news does not mean Fantasy owners should pay attention. Bedard has done little to be worthy of attention in Fantasy formats, posting a 7.36 ERA and 1.82 WHIP, while failing to last longer than four innings in any of his five starts. With a bad team behind him, Bedard is unlikely to prove helpful in any way for Fantasy owners. Continue to ignore Be...

Astros move Humber to bullpen; Keuchel, Bedard return to rotation

Houston Chronicle — The Astros promoted two pitchers Wednesday and moved former Rice standout Philip Humber to the bullpen. Lefthander Dallas Keuchel will start Friday against the Rangers at Minute Maid Park. Veteran lefty Erik Bedard, who was recently moved into long relief, will take the mound Saturday versus the Rangers. Humber joins former starters Paul Clemens, Jose Cisnero and Travis Blackley in the bullpen. “(Humber) is a true professional,” said Astros manager Bo Porter, prior to a game against the Los Angeles Angels at Minute Maid Park. “Philip is probably more bummed than any of us. Because he knows the...

  • Recap: Bedard's walks, Freiman's power lead A's over Astros 11-2
    It was a cold night for Athletics baseball, as game time temperature began at 55 degrees and the winds whipped across the field. The weather wasn't the only thing that was cold, it was also Erik Bedard's location to begin the game. He only lasted 0.1 IP today, and by the time he was done, he had left his Astros with a 6-0 deficit. Bedard began his evening with three consecutive walks to Coco Crisp, Derek Norris, and Chris Young, and really wasn't close with any of his pitches. After a Jed Lowrie K for his only out, Josh Donaldson stood by as he also received the free pass, but not...
