Astros @ Red Sox, May 3, 2025

Paredes with a 2-out triple, and lumbers into into double.

Walker, who is back from the yesterday’s bean ball, down on strikes

No score

Duran with a leadoff single

Contreras caught looking

Anthony hits a tailor-made bouncer to Altuve, who boots it. Throws to 1B…Everyone safe

Astros challenging call at 1B. Overturned. Score it 4-3. Duran to 2B

Abreu challenges a ball three call, but then retracts it. Ultimately walks

That was interesting. Laz Diaz behind the plate may have had something to do with it.

Monasterio down on strikes

No score after one.

You’re not supposed to be able to retract a challenge. Once you signal for it, you’re locked in. But Diaz let him. He obviously thought Diaz called it a strike. I’m not sure why.

Altuve with a soft fly to CF on the first pitch well off the plate.

Matthews flies out F9

Smith with a 2-out knock

Vazquez takes a meatball down the center…takes another meatball down the center…ball…flies out F8

No score

Laz Diaz is finding strikes today.

Narvaez with a 2-out double

That strike 3 to whoever was one of the more challenge-able pitches you’ll see.

Yeah that one was particularly bad. Not sure why he didn’t challenge as it was a 3-2 pitch. Now has cost them at least one run.

End of two…no score.

Pitch 7

Astros finally challenge a pitch. It’s overturned. But Correa ends up flying out F8
