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.
Cam with a bloop single. Two on
I didn’t have it on my bingo card yesterday.
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.
