While Rosie O'Donnell is leaving the view, and Joan Rivers is
walking away from the red carpet, Astros rookie Hunter Pence is
entering the spotlight.

After Friday night's 4-1 loss to the Brewers extended the Astros
losing streak to 7 straight , general manager Tim Purpura and
skipper Phil Garner decided to shake things up a bit .

Rookie Hunter pence got the call. He's leaving triple A Round Rock
and will be making his major league debute starting in centerfield
on Saturday night in game 2 vs the Brewers.

Pence was batting a hefty .341 , with 3 homers and 19 runs batted
in for the Express. To make room for Pence , Chris Burke will take
over a utility role while left hander Stephen Randolph was
designated for Assignment.
