With 2-out in the 7th…Montero gives up a home run then a walk. Abreu in, walks the next guy. Yainer drops a popup then a walk. Bases loaded….
3-1 ends the inning.
4-1 Astros.
Whew.
Major wiener stomping avoided, though for a lack of trying.
Thank goodness Neto was intent on putting the ball in play and chased an outside FB.
Yainer just ripped one…108 off the bat?
Nice bit of hitting by Yanier.
Nice AB, fouled off five of those 100+mph FB before singling to right.
He was joking. He did hit 103.6 to right field though
Dubon rbi single
I don’t know what is more impressive, throwing a baseball 103/4 MPH or somebody being able to actually hit one

Not sure, let’s look it up
Sorry, misread. I thought you were asking if the pitch was 108 because Blum jokingly said something about a 108mph change up.
Edit to add: Blum said 100.8 not 108.

They showed Chas 1 FB then realized their folly.
If I’m doing this correctly, prior to tonight, only 10 times has a 103MPH+ fastballs have been put in play for a hit, all singles. Yordan hit a double on 103.9, Yainer singled on 103.1.
Fun names on the list, Stephen Vogt in 2016 off Aroldis Chapman 104.2. Francisco Cervelli also in 16, also off Chapman, also 104.2. Tony Kemp! 103 off Jhoan Duran in 2022. And how bout that, Jose Abreu last in also off Duran, 103.6
Pressley laboring.
Ponche!
Yordan with a frozen rope for the 3rd out.
Tayler Scott to try and finish it.
Winner!
