Urquidy gets the pill.
T1:
McCormick doing his best Altuve impression…hacks at slop, all way out of the zone.
Btw, Brantley out of the lineup in the COVID protocol.
T1:
Peña, flailing wildly, flies out F7
Kikuchi can’t hit the side of a fucking barn…has thrown 10 pitches, one in the zone, has a strikeout and a fly out
Brexit!
Alvarez flails wildly at slop in the dirt
1-0 Astros
Urquidy with a 1-2-3 first
1-0 Astros
T2:
Yuli with a leadoff double
Diaz with a 1-out walk
Siri down on strikes
Maldonado flails wildly at slop.
Astros waste a leadoff double. Lead 1-0
If the Astros had not swung a bat yet, they’d be leading this game by five runs.
Chapman with a 2-out single
Tapia, apparently the greatest hitter in history, with a bloop double on the LF line…Chapman score
Espinal grounds out on a blue star play by Peña
1-1
Blue star!
That was the worst throw from an Astro outfielder I’ve seen in quite some time.
It went all of 27 feet on the fly.
He wouldn’t have thrown Chapman out if he’d been throwing from third base.
Chas draws a leadoff walk.
A little patience will go a long way.
