Following the game on my phone. I don’t know how they did it but the Astros lead 9-0 in the top of the 1st.
Imai staked to a 9 run lead.
Yordan (2 run hr) and Walker went back to back. Later, Yordan hit a grand slam. I think it’s the first Astro to hit 2 homers in one inning since Bagwell in 1994.

Imai may need all those run. Runner on the corners, one run in, no outs. 9-1.
So help me fucking God, walking someone with a 9 run lead should immediately lead to your catcher coming out and kicking you in the dick.

I guess everybody is watching the soccer pregame.
Nine runs is not going to be enough for Imai.
9-3
What a bum.
Seriously. Fuck Imai. That’s absolutely brutal.
Holy fucking shit what an absolutely idiotic way to end an inning.
Positively Altuvian on the basepaths.
They give this guy nine runs and he can’t get out of the first inning. That is quite an indictment of everyone involved in Imai’s tenure as an Astro.

By far the most depressing of his starts. Can’t even get his shit together up 9 before he took the goddamn mound.
Goooooaaaaalllll!!! USA scores first. 1-0
Okert has twice as many outs on half as many pitches as Imai did.
End of 2, 9-5 Astros.
The Astros have left the bases loaded twice.
Did they just say Altuve is hitting .154 with RISP?
Also, based loaded and nobody out and the Astros get nothing.
Walker swung at a pitch over his fucking head to strike out then Altuve had a perfect Altuve AB, took a strike, accidentally fouled off a pitch a foot inside, then excuse me slapped a grounder right at the 3B for a 5-3 double play.
Pretty fucking putrid.
Jesus Christ, Bruce Dreckman is living up to his last name tonight behind the plate.
Trammell and a fan in the CF bleachers were getting in to it between batters tonight.
