HOUSTON—The boys are back.

The Astros will face the Detroit Tigers on Friday night, at home, for an exhibition game.

The team is excited to be home after weeks of spring training in Florida.

“We’re giddy,” Mark Loretta told astros.com. “G-I-D-D-Y. Giddy.”

The game starts at 7:05 p.m. Saturday’s game is at 1:05 p.m.

Fans also have a chance to get an autograph from their favorite Astros player. The 2008 Astros FanFest will take place throughout Minute Maid Park.

FanFest starts at 9:00 a.m. and will end at the conclusion of the exhibition game between the Astros and Tigers.

Admission to FanFest is free with the purchase of a game ticket.  Additional fees apply for the autograph sessions, with all proceeds benefiting the Astros in Action Foundation.
