Lucas Harrell tossed three shutout innings versus a Yankees split-squad on Thursday. Harrell got the weaker split-squad, as the Yankees didn't send any stars to Bradenton for this one. Eduardo Nunez was probably the best hitter in the lineup, with Matt Diaz and Jayson Nix next in line. Harrell has a 3.60 ERA after two starts. He and Bud Norris are the two starters assured spots in Houston's rotation.
