Infield single loads the bases. Bregman saved a run, for now
He also threw about 40 pitches that werenât within 2 feet of the zone

Nicely done Gage
Gage cleans it up. 2-0 Giants
Top 5th
Brown pitching (at 80 pitches)
Stevenson - walks on 5 pitches.
Wade - F7 on leaping catch by Julks.
Estrada - walks after Brown was robbed on strike 3 that was in low part of box (not wide either way)
â pitching change â Gage in for Brown
Pederson - F8. (runners stay on 1st and 2nd).
Conforto - singles down 3rd base line. Nice stop by Bregman to hold runner to 3rd, but throw to first not in time. Bases loaded.
Flores - gets to 3-0, looks at 2 strikes, grounds out 6-3.
Mid 5 - Giants 2 Astros 0.
âWeâve given this rookie runners on the bases and an incompetent HPU. Letâs see how it goes.â
Not a rookie, but first big league appearance this season.
There have been 3 strike calls since Brown left that he didnât get the entire night.
To make sure, Peña be hacking.
If Peña ever learns to layoff worm-burner sliders âŠ
That was terrible, Jeremy
Except the one pitch that was within three feet of the plate. Peña scoffs at that one.
Julks, says âhold my beerâ
Bottom 5th
Desclafani pitching
Tucker - F7 at wall in front of Crawford boxes.
Pena - Ks looking at a pitch that Brown didnât get.
Julks - 6-3.
End 5 - Giants 2 Astros 0.
Six pitched, one within a bat length of the plateâŠtwo outs.
Cool, just one more inning until the fun starts.
I know that recognizing FB vs breaking is essentially the crux of major league hitting and incredibly difficult.
But holy hell if it starts off out of the zone lay the fuck off.
Strike three to Peña was a pitch that Brown got all night. It was well within the zone.
Now THAT was a pitch Brown didnât get.
Brown just punched a tub of popcorn with that call.
