Glavine (7-6, 4.39 ERA) hopes to also bounce back after gettingtagged for six runs and nine hits in six innings of a 6-2setback at Colorado last Saturday. The 41-year-old lefthander has 15 career wins against Houston,which hammered Glavine for six runs in just five frames in theBig Apple in their last meeting on September 1. The future Hall of Famer will be taking his second shot at winNo. 298. In Friday's series opener, starter Wandy Rodriguez recorded hisfirst career shutout and Lance Berkman homered as the Houstonrolled to a 4-0 triumph. The Astros turn to Woody Williams (4-10, 5.47), who goes for hisfourth consecutive win at home. In his last outings here, helimited Philadelphia to three runs and six hits in seven framesof a 7-5 win on Monday. Williams was brilliant when the Mets last visited on April 21,2006, holding them to just one run in eight innings but did notfigure into the decision.
