Brad Peacock strikes out five
Brad Peacock - S - Houston Astros
March 21, 2013 - 10:45 PM ET

Brad Peacock bolstered his rotation candidacy by pitching three scoreless innings and striking out five against the Tigers on Thursday.

He earned a save for the performance, but that's spring training for you. With Erik Bedard likely in, there's one spot left in Houston's rotation for either Alex White or Peacock. White should be the favorite, but Peacock has turned in three excellent outings in a row to make it a competition.
