McCullers gets a 1-2-3 inning on 6 pitches, including a K.

Altuve singles with 2 outs but Correa grounder ends it.

End 1, 0-0.

Get some fucking runs. Don't need to see those late inning arms.

Bregman's defense has been a bright spot in two dismal efforts.

That's entirely sensible after one inning against a very good pitcher.

Think they speculated a leg injury on the slide, or maybe with a lead, they are going to a defensive replacement, or maybe he's been traded. Nothing official that I have heard.

I wish we had caught Texas when they were really down which was about a 4, 5 week period. Instead we caught them during their hot streak when the Astros couldn't catch a cold and they are starting to play pretty good ball again. And Darvish is back.

If we can't beat them, we don't deserve it anyway.

The pitching is sketchy enough that I'm not particularly optimistic about playoff chances this year. We need Martes and Rodgers to blossom so that they're viable rotation pieces next year and we won't have to watch Fiers anymore.
