Bottom of two…Walker reaches on an E5

Our defensive specialist Trammell looked pretty offensive on that triple. Great job of stranding Swanson at 3B by Walter.

Trammel with a 2-out walk. Two on for Peña…

Peña drilled in the back on an 0-2 pitch. Bases drunk for Paredes

Paredes lines one to LF, robbed on a diving catch. Astros strand the bases loaded

No score after two.

Bottom of the second was very, very close to a big inning.

Altuve draws a leadoff walk in the third.

Cam is batting cleanup today, by the way.

I did not have that on my bingo card in April.

Nor did I have Jake Meyers batting fifth.

If you’d have told me a few months ago that halfway into the season your big boppers in the middle of the order would be Cam Smith and Jake Meyers I would not have guessed first place.

I need Caratini to show some patience here.

Jake walks. Bases juiced for Caratini

That’s the thing - I was going to say that I might have imagined them slotting Cam into the middle of the order in a lost season, let the kids play sort of deal.

Lots of traffic first three innings. They need to cash in here.

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH

Caratini…2-0…whiffs at a pitch in the dirt…flies out F8 as Altuve scores.

I just need Walker to make only one out here.
