Heck of an outing from Urquidy.

Managed to get out of some jams early.

T7.

Murfee pitching.

Altuve slow roller to right side of 2nd against shifted 2nd baseman for a single.

Pena grounds to 3rd. Altuve forced out at 2nd. Pena beats throw to first.

B7.

Martinez in to pitch.

Lewis 6-3.
Raleigh pops up to short center.
Frazier singles - Altuve ranges far to his left, gets to ball, spins and throws wildly. No chance. Maldy backs up.
Moore 6-3.

Astros 5. Mariners 1.

Just saw a sports blurb the the Yankees probably have lost their closer King v for the season with a fractured elbow.

T8.

Festa (RHP) pitching.

Tucker - down 0-2, works it back full, swings and misses over low inside slider. Ks.
Gurriel - down 0-2. F8.
Diaz - F8.

Astros 5. Mariners 1.

And Chapman gave up a 3 run dinger in the 7th.

Chapman looks to be toast. He’s been awful so far since coming back.

Maton threatening to Amber Heard this thing.

Winker looks to have tweaked something on that pop up.

Oh for fuck’s sake, Phil.

And now they’re loaded up.

Dusty makes the change.

Floribama time.

This is not the ideal turn of events.

When does playoff Maton get back from vacation?

2021 Maton hasn’t been around for awhile.

Fuck You, Maton. Nowhere near the zone with so many pitches, then nibbling with a fucking 4 run lead.

I could never be a pitching coach. I’d get fired the first time I went out and just kicked my pitcher in the ass for nibbling.

Throw a strike you goddamn redneck

Fucking fuck. Now Stanek nibbling. Just fucking brutal.

2 strikes with the fastball then 5 straight splitters to walk him?

Over thinking it

This feels like where the Astros lose this game.
