The pitch obviously hit him in the hand. His had was covering the knob of the bat, so it was pretty much impossible for it to hit the bat first.
Correa takes a hanging fastball right down the center square to kill the rally
But the Astros lead 5-0
Darvish, 92 pitches through 5.
Padres greet Odorizzi with two straight well struck singles to start the 6th
Great. Raley is warming up.
Saving Abreu for a save situation.
Do not give them a free baserunner, Jake.
Machado lines out…and that’s it for Odorizzi. Raley in
Please roll a pair, Astros. I want no part of a Brooks Raley/Fernando Tatis Jr matchup.
So much for that idea. Baker’s infatuation with Raley drives me nuts.
Damn. Single up the middle
Bases loaded for Tatis…
He’s the only lefty in the pen
3-0 to Tatis…grounds out 4-3, but a run scores

So much for that idea. Baker’s infatuation with Raley drives me nuts.
Less of an infatuation and more of the only girl in the class who isn’t dating a football player or knocked up.
Raley manages to get a lefty
5-1 Astros
There’s a nice play by Jose.

He’s the only lefty in the pen

Also, all things considered, Raley did a good job today.
Well, it certainly could have been a disaster and wasn’t.
The only pitch in the zone was called a ball.
A little luck goes the Astros way there
