Walk puts runners on the corners
To the 9th…still 3-3
Espada goes into the endgame with the advantage of no longer being able to waste at bats on Singleton
No longer wasting baserunners, so there’s that.
Hader in this 3-3 game in the 9th
Free baseball
Diaz starts at 2B…Chas lines out to LF
Caratini pinch hitting for Abreu…down on strikes
C’mon Jeremy, you can do it.
Peña with an infield single, great play by Witt to prevent a run
Shitty break. Great play.
Very nice play.
Sweet jeebus Jake.
Meyers, who came in for Singleton, down on a pitch that bounces in the on deck circle.
That was a shitty inning.
Call me crazy, but I would rather have Dubon batting there.
13 hits. But 5 for 18 w/RISP, and three of those hits did not drive in a run. 13 LOB.
Thus far I have been underwhelmed with Espada’s decision making. And I didn’t expect this.
Suero, making his Astros debut…
And that’s it.
4-3 Royals.
I’m starting to be concerned about Abreu and his .088 BA.
