Ullola is the opener on a bullpen day
Stros and Rays both go down in order in the 1st
Varsho K, Diaz gets a nice 1-out single to RCF and then gets doubled off on a broken bat floater to the P by Walker
Yainer with a. 1-out single, erased on a double play.
King in for Ullola, who looked very good in the 1st.
King gets 3 LHB to groundout on 7 pitches.
No score through 2
King with a 1-2-3 second. I wonder how many pitchers they’ll use tonight.
Trammell with a knock
Nick Allen: hitter
Two on for Altuve…
Altuve GIDP
Middle of three… no score
Rays with a 1-out shiftfuck single, because they Astros are playing without a third baseman, apparently. Chases King. Pecko in.
Stolen base as the throw beats the runner by a foot and Peña just doesn’t put the tag on.
Peña strikes out on a 3-2 pitch that almost hits him between the eyes.
Paredes doubles over the LFer
Varsho singles to RCF gap, Paredes legs it all the way from 2B to 3B without a throw.
On the corners, one out for Diaz…
Diaz grounds into 4-6 FC but beats the rap at 1B as Paredes scores.
Passed ball moves Diaz to 2B. Maybe if you’d get the fucking mitt off the ground you could catch that.
Middle of four…1-0 Astros
Maybe if he batted 12th.

I don’t know what they’re paying Nick Allen but he earned all of it right there.
