Holy crap that was not close.
The banned-in-China-Rockets lead 61 to 59 at the half.
Bottom 8
New pitcher: Rodriguez (LHP)
Reddick scalds a ball off the fence in right on a hop for a loud single
Díaz grounds into a 5-4 FC, no throw to first
Who has the ninth?
Pressly
Has to be.
Maldonado takes an 0-1 pitch low, Diaz to second on WP, takes wide 2-1, FB wide 3-1, walks
He saw zero strikes in that AB
Fuck George…two fucking cookies
Fucking pathetic
Springer takes a FB right down the middle, takes another strike, Ks swinging
That might have been Springer’s worst at bat ever.
Altuve with 2 on and 2 out, takes a strike up in the zone, lines out F8
So a hit, a wild pitch, and a walk, and the Astros manage to see 11 pitches.
I never expect Altuve to drive in runs any more but at least he hit it pretty well.
Downright Altuvian.
Does Springer know he’s a free agent after this season?
Should have been 10.
The pitch Machete swung at was 5 inches off the plate.
Pressly starts the 9th
Kiner-Falefa takes a slider on the corner, tips another slider, taps out 1-3
Shit, I thought Pressly was gonna throw that comebacker into RF
