Springer…full count…lines to 2B in the shift
Bichette grounds out 6-3
Guerrero grounds out 5-3

No score

Super Jack is far superior, but he is long gone.

Never doubted you, Nico

Goodrum doesn’t look like he has spent a lot of time on the basepaths.

T5:

Tucker smokes a screaming line drive to CF that Springer runs down over his shoulder. Rat farts.
Goodrum singles to RF…take that OWA naysayers!
Goodrum picked off of 1B 2-3 on a ball in the dirt…Astros challenging…throw beat him, bit swipe tag may have been so early it missed…confirmed…out
Pena strikes out swinging

Halfway…no score.

Lost Chapman after getting hosed on 1-2.

B5:

Gurriel…full count…grounds out 6-3
Chapman takes strike three for ball two…walks. Dammit…had him struck out
Kirk lines out to SS
Espinal grounds into 6-4 F

No score

Maldy barely made it into the frame as the throw arrived.

Chas Chas Chas

Diaz delivers.

Attaboy, Diaz.

T6:

Maldonado grounds to SS…Bichette kicks it, but Maldonado not running, finds it throw him out
McCormick triples off the top of the RF wall
Brantley…infield in…down 0-2…1-2…and no, Gausman doesn’t pause at all…grounds out 6-3, McCormick has to hold
Diaz singles to RF, McCormick scores!
Alvarez grounds out 4-3

But the Astros take a 1-0 lead

Ouch.

Man on for Springer

Ugh!

B6:

Capra strikes out swinging
Zimmer hit by pitch
Springer grounds into FC, Zimmer out 5-4…can’t quite nip Springer at 1B
Bichette homers to RF…Jays first hit…Springer scores
Guerrero grounds out 6-3

But the Blue Jays lead 2-1

Not a bad pitch, Bichette went out and got it.

It was outside, but it was a hanger. Still, this lineup is tough enough. You give them free baserunners, it’s likely not going to go well.
