Dubon lines out

Diaz, who never saw a pitch he didn’t like, singles on a pitch over his head

Altuve walks

Bases loaded for Julks

Julks singles, Peña scores

In Minnesota, two men on with no out become two men still at 1st and 2nd with 2 out, pitcher change

Alvarez…doubles to LF, Diaz scores, Altuve scores

Meyers flies out

17-3 Astros

Stanek in

Twins waste the opportunity, strike out to end the 8th.

5-4 Strangers going to the 9th
After 2 in BadCoffee, Marooners lead KC 1-0.

Every Astros, including the pinch hitters, has a hit today. Except Meyers.

As a reminder…the 7-8-9 spots today are 12 for 18 with 8 runs driven in

And it’s 17-4

Radio just said that the Stros have stranded 28 men on base in the past 2 games

and scored 26 runs

And that’s a winner.

Astros bang out 25 hits to win 17-4

I’m sure I’m not alone, but I never, ever lose sight of the fact that Cabrera is a triple crown winner. They only make so many of those guys. I’ll miss his being in the league. It doesn’t seem that long ago when he was a skinny kid in Florida.

It had been 2 or 3 generations of players since the previous one.

Rare air indeed.
