Shane Reynolds, Octavio Dotel and Billy Wagner become the first Astros pitchers to throw a shutout at Enron Field as they combine to blank the Cubs, 3 – 0. It took 132 games before the home team calcimined an opponent at Enron, which opened on April 7, 2000. That shutout drought at a new facility tops the old record of 103 games set by the Colorado Rockies after moving into Coors Field in 1995. Last season, Astros hurlers threw only two shutouts, both on the road.
