I wish he’d bat Cam 2nd. Hinch would.

That’s not the worst place in the lineup for a guy who goes the other way all the time.

Altuve breaks up the no hitter with a bunt single.

Altuve tries to advance on a pitch in the dirt and is out by 15 ft, or 2.89 Altuves

Yordan grounds up the middle, Torres fields it in CF, throws a lollipop 27 mph that takes 5 minutes to reach 1B and nips Yordan.

No score after one.

Still on pace to face the minimum

Blanco with a 1-2-3 second.

Leadoff single to LF by Paredes.

Followed by an immediate GIDP by Walker

Why make one out when you can make two is what I always say.

I fondly remember the early days of the season when he was hitting the ball hard but making outs…“he’ll get 'em to drop soon” we’d say.
