Astros 4, Cubs 0
W: Brett Myers, L: Randy Wells
This game started out perfect. Myers pitched 4.2 innings of perfect baseball. Then he gave up a walk, then a single before closing out the inning to keep the Cubs scoreless. He ended the night with 7 innings of shut-out baseball. He did a great job of using the strike zome given to him by the home plate ump. There were some pretty good plays made in the field behind him.
The bullpen finished the game by tossing two scoreless innings.
Hunter Pence hit a solo homerun in his second at-bat, his first at-bat was a pretty good shot to center also.
Carlos Lee looked like he was ready to trade in his bat for a new one. Good swings but only outs to show for it.
Keppinger, Johnson and Quintero got the other 3 rbi’s on the night.
This was the 5th series the Astros have played against the Cubs and the 5th series they won. That is the way it should be.
I found this quote from Hunter Pence interesting.
“We’re having fun out there and we compete and believe in each other.”
I believe in them too.
