Astros drop 4 on Oakland’s pumpkin head in the 1st.
Diaz, Tucker, Mancini all homered.
4-1.

Urquidy promptly gives one back (Kemp tripled to right, scored on a sac fly. I didn’t see the play, but Urquidy gave was fortunate to get out of the 1st with just 1 run allowed).
4-2 mid 2
And he gives up a leadoff homer in the 3rd.
4-3 for now.
Are the people behind the plate doing the wave? That’s… disturbing.
And it’s 6-4 Oakland.
Urquidy has been terrible.
I guess we were due for somebody to throw a stinker. Urquidy wouldn’t have been the guy I expected it from, though.
Why not?
Garcia would have been my first guess, McCullers my second.
Urquidy and Garcia have taken turns being uninspiring lately.

Astros also haven’t had a baserunner since the 1st
In fairness they’re back of the rotation guys and both have punched above their weight at times.
And I’m a completely spoiled fan who wants 6 innings and maybe a couple of runs from the starter every night.

Welp.
7-4
2 out walk and a hanger hit off the scoreboard in left.
Vazquez with a 1 out single to right.
Dude can handle the bat.
And double play ends the inning.
Yordan dinger makes it 7-5 in the 8th.
He’s a bad motherfucker.
Kemp single, SB, TE2, scores on a single.
It’s 8-5 and Abreu just walked a batter.
1st/2nd, 2 outs.
