| According to the team's official website, the Houston Astros have signed left-handed reliever Tim Byrdak to a one-year, $1 million deal. |

"Was it up? The pitch is over that berm!" Leyland said. It wasn't the only homer he gave up Tuesday, either. By the end of his lone inning of work Byrdak had allowed two homers, six hits and six runs. That left his spring ERA at 10.00. |
