T1:

Rosales strikes out swinging
Plouffe doubles down the RF line...Reddick fields it and makes a strong throw to 2B, but a little off line and just misses him
Healy flied out F9, Plouffe tags and moves to 3B
Davis...works the count full...strikes out swinging

No score

B1:

Springer, who owns the lowest BA of the starters...grounds up the middle on the first pitch, SS fields it, but has to hurry and throws high...score it an infield single
Reddick pops out F5 in foul territory
Altuve strikes out looking at a pitch at his ankles.  Wow
Correa doubles down the LF line ON THE FIRST PITCH!  Springer comes all the way around to score from 1B
McCann grounds up the middle, second baseman dives and stops it for an infield single, Correa has to stop at 3B...saves a run for now
Gurriel flies out F8

1-0 Astros

B5:

Springer singles to LF on the first pitch
Reddick reaches on catcher's interference...score it E2, Springer to 2B
Altuve singles to RF, Springer to 3B, Reddick to 2B
Correa...quickly 2-0...2-1...3-1...infield in...fouls off ball four in...that's ok...full count...takes strike three...Ugh
McCann singles past 1B, Springer scores, Reddick scores, Altuve to 3B
Gurriel grounds into 6-4-3 double play...VERY close at 1B, but Hinch has already wasted his challenge

After five...4-0 Astros

Davis walks on four pitches
Lowrie...full count...pops out F4
Phegley grounds into FC, Davis out 6-4...Altuve's throw is wild, so no double play...missed opportunity to end the inning
Pinder...works the count full...strikes out swinging

4-0 at the stretch

Keuchel having to work a lot harder this inning.

Would love to see the Astros put up about 6 runs in the 7th, and let Keuchel call it a day

I don't think it's sweet at all.  In fact, it's less sweet than their normal beers...it is an ale after all.  Of course, it's not like drinking quinine, which seems to be the rage these days.

I don't do "quinine" and I do like a nice Belgian dubbel or trippel, so maybe the reports I get on this one are leading me astray. Or maybe I am growing sceptical of their novelty offerings.

Take away the head to head games last year, and the Astros and Rangers had the exact same record against the rest of the league.  How well they play against the Rangers is HUGE...or YUGE even.

Exactly. I still think the al west is going to come down to Astros vs rangers. Though I'd love if Arlington would hurry themselves early
