Astros' Dallas Keuchel: Makes final Grapefruit League appearance

Keuchel allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings in Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Brian McTaggart of the Astros' official site reports.

Analysis:

Compared to Keuchel's other spring outings, Tuesday's was a bit of a slog for the left-hander. He needed 90 pitches and had a few stressful innings. Working with runners on and putting the body through a little stress can be a good thing sometimes, however. Despite Tuesday's results, Keuchel has had a good spring, and he'll be taking the ball Opening Day in Houston against Seattle on April 3.
