Blue Jays @ Astros, April 23, 2923

Colby Rasmus was not my guess.

Not quite agent Garcia

Paredes with a 1-out knock

Peña lines one off the pitcher and it rolls into RF. Paredes doing his best Martin Maldonado on crutches impression lopes into 2B

Walker, who’s 2 fer 3 tonight, strikes out looking

That was quite a pitch for the third strike.

Yainer, who’s also 2 fer 3, chops into a 5U FC

3-1 Astros

Jack Billingham and Skip Guinn were sent as replacements for Donn Clendenon to complete the Staub trade.

Abreu in
works a scoreless 8th

To the 9th

Santander down on strikes

Springer

Goddamn walk.

Clement pinch hitting for Gimenez

Clement doubles to LF, Springer to 3B. Tying run in scoring position.

I would not have blamed Hader if he challenged Springer and lost. That’s what closers do.

Sparky said Clement is a first pitch hunter earlier
 Cmon Hader. At least make Ernie & Bert work

He did challenge him. He threw 11 pitches, seven of them strikes.
