KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) _ Craig Biggio, coming back from knee surgery last August, was hit by a pitch for the seventh time this spring as the Houston Astros beat the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 10-2 Friday.

Biggio was hit twice against the Devil Rays.

``I don't know what it is,'' Biggio said. ``It's just the way things are going.''

Tampa Bay right-hander Matt White hit three consecutive batters, including Biggio, in the fourth inning.

White failed to retire any of the six batters he faced. He gave up two hits and a walk and threw two wild pitches.

Scott Elarton, who will start the Astros' opener April 3 at home against Milwaukee, allowed one run and six hits in five innings.

Jose Vizcaino drove in three runs for Houston and Orlando Merced homered.

Felix Martinez had three hits and Greg Vaughn homered for Tampa Bay.
