It’s so crazy that last year Maton was arguably the weakest pitcher on the team, but this year he’s been the best bullpen arm. I wasn’t the least bit bothered when he hurt himself, but he’s been a crucial factor in many wins this year.

I don’t remember: was Maton part of the Straw deal with Cleveland?
Yes. He and Yainer Diaz for Straw.
Also, the idea that the Astros could hold the team we saw last night scoreless through better than two thirds of the game would have seemed ludicrous.
Yep. The main part. Diaz was a throwin.
T8:
Beeks in for the Rays
Julks grounds out 5-3
Meyers taps into no man’s land out in front of the plate, Mejía fields it, but throws a bit high as Meyers beats it out
Hensley flies out F8
Maldonado works the count full…grounds out 6-3
5-0 still
Montero. Which one we gonna get?
GIDP!!

Franco…0-2…1-2…foul…2-2…bounces into 1-6-3 double play
To the 9th…5-0 Astros
Angry Luis is a very promising development

Dammit!
Man, Peña hit the snot out of that. Bad luck.
Cmon Tucker, bring him home
Dubon puts himself on third to start the inning with a double and a steal and now it will take a Bregman hit to get him home.
Dubon
T9:
Adam in for the Rays
Dubon doubles to RCF
Dubon takes 3B without a throw
Peña…infield in…lines out to SS…infield back, that’s probably a hit as it was tailing away from Franco
Tucker…infield stays in…3-0…swings over a changeup…foul…foul…grounds out 4-3
Bregman…3-2…grounds out 6-3
5-0 Astros
Three at’em balls.
