Fisher singles home Beltran on the pitch after an uncalled strike 3 from Roark.  2-0 Astros. 1st run on Springer single, stolen base, Reddick single.

Another pitcher's failure to post a zero after the offense scores. Not a good inning from Morton, starting with, you guessed it, a walk on 11 pitches.

No error, but another two runs that don't score if you make the routine plays.

Right, the low throw from Altuve to Gurriel did cost two runs. But that leadoff walk was frustrating.

Man, Roark has carved up Marwin on those breaking balls.

Struck him out all 3 times.

Two out, two run triple
Two out, two run homer
We don't score with bases loaded, one out

I see no reason Davis should ever pinch hit for anyone.

Yeah it's hard to pin it on one thing, but Morton giving up the 2 out double and home run immediately after regaining the lead was probably the worst.

Frankly, with one out and down by one run, I would have considered squeezing there. At least it probably wouldn't be a double play.

Since July 28th, the Astros are 8-15. The Angels are 15-7. At the current rate, the Angels will take the division lead around September 20th.

And lest we forget the botched double play by Altuve that led to 2 runs so you can add defense to the list too

This. They turn their DP; we don't turn ours. Both were routine.

Bummer.

Really appreciate the pbp fellas!

Sometimes life is good, sometimes bad. But sometimes life takes a 2x4 and smacks you right in the nuts. I unfortunately am having to deal with option 3 these past few weeks and baseball has had to not only take a back seat but exit the car... I hope to join you all for some more winning soon. Hug the ones you love tonight!

Hang in there!
