| Bo Porter 'confident' in bullpen |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(3/28/13) Astros manager Bo Porter said Thursday he likes the makeup of his team's bullpen. While Jose Veras is expected to get the first chance to close games, Porter said the eighth-inning role will be determined by matchups. He mentioned Alex White could work in long relief, while Hector Ambriz and Rhiner Cruz are right-handed relievers that can pitch multiple innings. Porter mentioned Xavier Cedeno as a left-handed reliever who could pitch multiple frames.
“I love the fact we have two lefties down there who are capable of getting out some of the better left-handed hitters in our league,” he said to MLB.com. “We also have a long guy, we have a good mix of guys who can pitch in the back end. I’m pretty confident in our bullpen.”

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

| Rhiner Cruz pitches fourth straight scoreless outing |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(3/14/13) Astros reliever Rhiner Cruz retired the only batter he faced Thursday, extending his scoreless-outing streak to four this spring by inducing a groundball double play with men on first and third and one out against the Astros.
Cruz has allowed just one hit and no walks while recording three strikeouts in 3 2/3 innings this spring, potentially putting him in the mix for closer consideration in Houston. Jose Veras, who was the favorite to close for the Astros entering the spring, has allowed two earned runs on two hits and a walk in his three innings of work while striking out six.
