Astros put up a 3 spot in the first, Urquidy 3 zeros and it’s 3-0 Astros after 3
I wish Straw would learn to be a slap hitter.

Yuli, Tucker and Straw all ground out

He seems to have a better idea of the zone than many HPUs have given him credit for.
A steady stream of singles to right would be awesome for him.
He and Yordan have taken over the Reddick role of getting fucked by the umpire every other AB
