Astros @ Padres, August 8, 2026

Stop me if you’ve heard this before….Astros strand a pair in the first. That’s 18 first-inning LOB with 0 runs scored in the last nine games.

Lambert walks the first hitter he faces

Single puts Padres on the corners

Strikeout of Machado for the first out

Stolen base puts two in scoring position

Infield now in

And another walk loads the bases

Merrill hits one to RF, it drops in front of Smith and France at 1B sort of just stood there. Cam throw out France at 2B, score it a 9-6 FC, but Tatis scores

And another stolen base puts runners back at 2B and 3B

Strikeout ends the inning.

After one…1-0 Padres

Let’s go Astros.

Trammell!!

Middle of two…1-1

Be nice for Lambert to have a quick inning here

2-out walk to the 9-hitter

Single puts two on, two out

He thought about it.

Then decided no.

Lambert with a scoreless inning, but it wasn’t quick and it wasn’t easy

1-1 after two.

Well, I thought it was a good idea

50 pitches through 2 innings

Peña still gets completely destroyed by sliders off the plate. I guess he’ll just never learn to recognize that pitch, even though he knows it’s coming.
