Degrom and Brown both go 3 up 3 down in the 1st with a strikeout, pop up and dribbler up the first base line
We’re scoreless through 3
4 K’s for each starter
This is like the NL in the late '60s. Pitchers not messing around.
Astros get two hits in the 4th, but Zacky D. leaves 'em stranded.
Astros get a couple singles but strand them
A pitcher’s duel might not be the best thing for this Astros offense.
If Degrom keeps getting 3 extra inches down and outside, the Astros are have no chance to score
I’ve got a bad feeling about this…
3 up 3 down for Hunter in the 4th
Damn, that was a nice running catch by Carter
Altuve is in a terrible slump.
Pena with a 2 out single but Altuve k’s on 3 pitches
Leadoff double for Garcia
Semien carved up. 1 out
Dots up a couple fastballs to catch Jung looking. 2 out
Carter pops up, no score through 5 innings
That was an impressive response to the lead off double - 2Ks and a pop up.
Brown, nonplussed, quickly dispatches the next three Rangers.
I would like for our offense to become plussed.
