Verlander gets the Brewers in order in the first. Astros coming up.
Another bozo behind the plate. JV throws a changeup that is all over the plate for a ball and then Wilson throws a cutter 6 inches below the zone for a srike
Now one 6 inches outside gets called
Singleton thinks he’s got wheels and gets gunned down trying to strech a single into a double
Well, Verlander gets a called 6 inches outside too, so I guess the plate hit a growth spurt
Verlander works a zero despite a seeing eye single and liner off the glove of Pena
Dubon with RISP is awesome.
Astros plate a run but Yordan leaves two RISP. 1-0 Astros after 3.
HPU is a mess.
Understatement
Nifty play by Jose.
Good cover by JV too
After 4, still 1-0 Astros.
That’s Dan Iassonga behind the plate. He is, in fact, awful. And the crew chief.
And CB Bucknor is also in this awful crew.
Two on, nobody out in the top of 5.
Buckle down, JV.
Another BB now the bases are all drunk and shit, with no outs.
Perkins with a sac fly, Ortiz scores, tie game.
36 pitches so far this inning.
Contreras homers on the 13th pitch.
Fuck! Now 4-1 Brewers.
