Astros go down on six pitches in the third. Still lead 1-0
I said “uh oh” off the bat on that ball from Franco…Tucker makes the routine catch in RF
And the Astros have settled into avoiding the bases. 1-0, middle of four
1-out double for Ramirez
Yuli flashing some leather tonight
11 in a row now
So after 19 pitches to make the first three outs, the Astros have only 39 needed to make the next 12. That’s efficiency.
We’re halfway…1-0 Astros.
Garcia’s gone 19-16-16-16, that’s consistency.
and just rolled an 18 in the 5th
Altuve reaches the n an infield single. A base runner!
Peña with a walk…two…count ‘em…TWO baserunners
EXCELLENT!
Alvarez…full up…singles to RF, Altuve scores, Peña to 3B, and for some bizarre reason the Rays throw to 3B allowing Alvarez to get to 2B
Alvarez hurts his knee on the slide…trainer out…
I would rather Yordan not slide like that ever again.
Alvarez stays in…possibly telling Dusty his hand is fine.
Bregman…two RISP…broken bat flair double…Peña scores, Alvarez scores…4-0 Astros. WooHoo!
Tucker pops to shallow CF to harsh the mellow.
Yuli flies out, Bregman to 3B
Hunter Brown in. This is fun.
Downtown Hunter Brown in for the Astros
