B6:
Tucker…3-2…singles through the shift
Tucker caught stealing on the first pitch…replay shows he may have been safe, but Astros lost their challenge
Gurriel…0-2…lines out to 1B…woulda been a hit with a runner on 1B
Mancini…full count…walks
So if Tucker doesn’t run, the Astros would have bases loaded and nobody out…how’s that for bad luck
Vazquez…0-2…1-2…grounds into 6-4 FC
Still 2-2
