Love the defensive changes. A good team does these things.

Yep. Don’t recall Dusty doing it much, but with Hinch, the “Houston Shuffle” was a staple.
Also…I’m always partial to starting pitching, and Greinke pitched well, but my game ball goes to Javier. Threw strikes consistently, got ahead of guys…pulled a rabbit out of his hat in the 7th…outstanding day for him.

Kudos to Baker for resisting the urge to use Raley in the eighth. Fringe players drag the Astros across the finish line yet again. This time it was Garcia and Toro. Neither is a very good player except when he is.
Good story (follow the link for the full scoop, MMP staff did great):
