Another walk
Gusto is a mess, but manages to get out of the first with only one run. 1-0 Rays.
Peña 6-3
Paredes 6-3
Altuve L5
So after 30+ pitches for Gusto, the offense gives him a whole 9 pitches off
1-0 Rays.
At least Gusto got to sit down for about 3.2 seconds.
Gusto at a highly efficient 53 pitches through 2 IP
Astros follow up the 9-pitch first with an even more efficient 8-pitch second. Gusto now working on 5.8 seconds rest.
1-0 Rays.

Rays get a run without making contact on a pitch.

Gusto out, Sousa in
That was utterly embarrassing.
The never ending march of starting pitchers to the operating room was bound to have some insurmountable consequences at some point. It looks like that point is now.

With as strong and accurate as Yainer’s arm is, he ought to be throwing out 40% of runners. But he has almost zero chance.
Middle of four…2-0 Rays
According to TK, Espada’s philosophy is ‘Don’t let them steal third.’ Brilliant.
