Arrighetti gets out of a bases loaded no outs jam. Astros up 1-0 after 3.
Cole up with bases loaded and 1 out.
Arrighetti has been flirting with disaster all day. I doubt that his luck will last.
Cole knocks one in on a force out at second. Astros up 2-0.
Vasquez gets another RBI on a line drive to right. Astros up 3-0.
JP grounds out to end inning.
Clean inning for Arrighetti. Astros 3-0 at end of 4.
Matthews singles and drives in Paredes. Astros up 4-0 in the 5th with two outs.
Two straight 4 pitch walks in the 5th.
And just like that the Astros are out of ABS challenges.
I keep waiting for @JohnS ‘s man-in-the-stands report.

I’m looking for him. I figure eventually I’ll hear someone hollering something about Bud Adams and I’ll make my way over there and say hello.
The bullpen strikes again. Arrighetti, who was not good enough to make the opening day roster, pitched five innings of two hit shutout baseball. Okert has matched the hit total in a third of an inning and leads Arrighetti by two runs.
At the Stretch…4-2 Astros
I didn’t realize you were there, too, but I should have figured it out.
I wonder if this means we’ll get the Bryan King Experience in the bottom of the 8th.
Fucking shit, will someone send Cam Smith up there without a helmet so he can’t fucking tap it on a pitch that’s two-ball widths in the fucking strike zone.
Abreu in for the 8th
2-out HBP
I swear Abreu has no idea where his pitches are going to wind up.
Maybe a good ol’ Prussian pith helmet would work.
