Pudge singles in first game with Astros (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Ivan Rodriguez looked right at home with the Houston Astros. Making his spring training debut with his new team, Rodriguez stroked a single to center field in his first at-bat and helped Houston to a 1-0 victory over the Washington Nationals on Sunday. The Astros plugged Rodriguez into the No. 2 spot in the lineup and the 14-time All-Star catcher finished 1-for-3 at the plate.
