Astros @ Twins, June 12, 2021

Altuve takes strike 3 for ball 3, fouls several, grounds out 4-3.

Thru 5 Berrios is around 80 pitches.

Good at bat. It deserved a better end.

Three straight curve balls, you’d think Maldonado would have been ready for the 3rd.

Gordon Ks on 3 piches but reaches as strike 3 goes the Machete 5 hole.

Simmons F9

Maldonado doesn’t seem to be on his A game.

Gordon steals 2nd, short hop throw jets into CF but Gordon stays put.

Rortvedt doubles to center, allowing the strikeout victim to score.

2-0.

That was a terrible route by Chas.

Luis, get thru this.

Polanco homers to right center.

4-0.

That’ll do it.

Visit from Strom, Garcia responds with 3 straight balls.

Make it 4.

Donaldson walks.

Garcia is done.

Looks like Taylor coming in.

That’s it for Garcia.

He started leaking oil in the 4th.

Taylor ends the inning without further damage.

But it’s 4-0.

Better get to work, offense.

Brantley 4-3

Shift happens

HPU reminds everyone he sucks, Bregman Ks as he can’t check up.

So strikeout with zero pitches in the zone.

Alvatez wastes no time and watches 3 strikes.

Fuck that was terrible.

Alvarez looks lost again. I thought he was coming out of it.
