Two on, one out for Hummel…
Hummel down on strikes. He remains hitless since 2023

Dubin in. Gives up a first pitch single
Correa pops up to end the inning.
At the Stretch…1-0 Astros.
Walter went 6.2 innings giving up one run on six hits. He struck out nine and didn’t walk any. He deserved better than the lineup Espada ran out there behind him.

One hit? That’s all we got, one goddamn hit?
Been hit by as many pitches as the’ve hit.
