Verlander seemed mildly pleased.

B7:

Winker flies out F8 on the first pitch as Meyers battles the sun
Santana crushes a home run to RCF on a 2-strike hanging curveball right down the pipe
Suárez…0-2…1-2…2-2 on a breaking ball over the plate…HPU has been a disaster today…foul…full count…walks on a pitch just a hair inside
Frazier grounds a single to CF, Suárez to 3B
Frazier steals 2B without a throw
Raleigh strikes out swinging
Lewis, pinch hitting for Moore…swings at a 1-2 pitch, but 1BU says he checked…full count…walks to load the bases
Haggerty…0-2…1-2…strikes out swinging

JV has to work…strands the bases loaded, but the M’s cut the lead in half…2-1 Astros

63

Yeah boy! Give them some gas!

64

Umpire cost an inning of Verlander but watching him go to work after 2nd and 3rd, 1 out is a thing of beauty

Throw back to HP damn near hit Bregman’s bat as he was backing out of the box, what would be the ruling on that?

71

T8:

Altuve takes strike one at his forehead…good grief…ball…takes strike two right down the middle…singles to RCF
Peña…3-0…3-1…singles to RF, Altuve to 3B

And that’s all for Brash…Borucki the lefty in

Alvarez…quickly down 0-2…strikes out on a check swimg
Bregman…wild pitch! Altuve scores, Peña to 2B…pops out F6…his third popup today
Tucker flies out F8

Astros get the run back…lead 3-1

What’s the rule on that if it had happened? Batter with bat in his hand, out of the box, WP, catcher throws to the plate…?

74

Just a continuation of the play. A throw that hits the batter is a live ball, unless the batter interferes with the throw intentionally. If runners advance because if it, it’d be scored a TE2, in addition to the wild pitch
