From the Astros.com website:
The Astros hope to play spoiler to several contending clubs this month, and they have a good opportunity to do so this week while the Milwaukee Brewers are in town.
However, if the Astros are going to win the series with the Brewers, they'll have to do so behind the strength of a couple of inexperienced rookie pitchers.
Felipe Paulino will make his big league debut as a starter on Tuesday, taking the spot normally occupied by Woody Williams. On Wednesday, Juan Gutierrez will sub for Roy Oswalt, who will be away from the team for a couple of days while his wife gives birth to the couple's second child.
Paulino has very limited experience on the big league level. He made his debut on Sept. 5, allowing five runs over a three-inning relief appearance in Milwaukee.
On Sept. 15, he threw one scoreless inning of relief against the Pirates.
