Blair Henley MLB debut: Astros call-up faces 9 batters, lasts just one-third of first inning in 10-5 win vs. Texas Rangers [Video]

ARLINGTON, Texas (KTRK) — Blair Henley will likely want a mulligan for his MLB debut. Still, on the bright side, the Houston Astros’ starting pitcher on Monday won’t get a losing decision.

Henley, an 11th-hour call-up to start in place of an ailing Framber Valdez, pitched just a third of the first inning against the Texas Rangers, facing nine batters and allowing five earned runs.

The 26-year-old from Fort Worth debuted in front of his family inside Globe Life Field, where he also gave up the first four hits and three walks of his career. After his short outing, his earned-run average shot up to 135.00.

The ‘Stros on offense gave him a 2-0 lead to work with, but since falling 5-2 after one inning, Houston added eight runs while the bullpen, led by winning pitcher Seth Martinez, held steady, allowing no additional scores. Houston salvaged the four-game series with a 10-5 win.
