Zach Duke has gotta step it up

A year ago it would've been unfathomable to think that Zach Duke would be trailing behind Ian Snell, Paul Maholm, and Tom Gorzelanny in anything. Right now, he's really gotta get his act together and start to be the pitcher we all think he can, or people are going to stop thinking that.

He faces off against Matt Albers and an Astros' team that probably isn't too happy after being reamed out by their manager after being shut-out by Paul Maholm last night. Duke has better stuff than Maholm, so one would think he could give the Astros similar fits. Let's hope so.
