Boy, I’m not 100% sure Peña was on the bag, but I’ll take it.
Whew
I wasn’t sure at first either but the umpire was right on top of it and the replays looked like he had it.
For all I know the Angels are going to sweep the Astros this weekend, but man, are they bad. They should burn this thing right down to the studs.
They would still have the same owner and front office.
Angels have the tying runs aboard with one out. Hope we keep the lead here
Bot 7th, 7-4 Astros
Neris gets 3 K’s and gives up Ward HR
Top 8th, 7-5 Astros
3 quick outs
Bot 8th,
Abreu has runners on 2nd & 3rd w/ 2 outs
Pop out
Top 9, 7-5 'Stros
Hold 'em, guys; I’m done.
Top 9 2 out, Chas on 1st and Abreu on 3rd, Corey Julks walks to load the bases.
Pena gets another time to get a run or more for Houston
Pena screws the pooch with a ground out. leaves the bases loaded.
On to the bottom of the 9th, Astros leading 7-5
Pressly in to (hopefully) earn the save
I don’t think there is any player that would benefit more Yordan’s return than Jeremy Peña.

And over the years, the Astros have held Trout to a .248/.378./501 line. Far better than any other AL team has done against him, which is insane to think about.

They both likely want to be traded to the Astros so their stats will improve.

Watching some highlights again…Maldonado’s bunt in the 6th…that’s probably a triple play if Moustakas goes to 3B. Maldonado did not run out of the box thinking he popped up, and both runners had to hold. That was a game changing play.
