Astros get a walk and three singles…scratch out a run and leave the bases loaded in the first.
1-0 Astros.
JV gives up a homer? How completely unexpected.
And the lead didn’t last long. JV gives up a double and a home run.
I’m not sure there’s a leash short enough for the current version of Verlander. This has not been a good return.

End of one…2-1 Guardians
Verlander just can’t put away guys like he used to.

We’re getting Ted Cruz ads before the bottom of the inning, and they’re all on immigration. I wish we could stop Canadians from crossing the border and taking American jobs.

Kikuchi coming from Toronto and taking an American job is fine by me.

Good bottom of the second for Verlander.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but if Houston wins, NYY clinch the 1 seed and tomorrow’s game is meaningless for both teams, correct?

If NYY holds the tiebreaker against CLE then yes. I don’t know if they do, though.
What I read is they do

Then yes. The best CLE can do is tie NYY.
Not what I saw coming after the first two batters. Good recovery.

Leadoff double by CLE wasted including a great rundown play between 3rd and home. 4-3 Astros through 8.
I’m not sure that it matters whether we get a look at Clase, but I’m glad that it’s happening nonetheless.

I agree but it would be nice if it were higher in the order.
You can’t stop Dezenzo, you can only hope to contain him.
Or double him off.
