Well, they gave it a good try, but the Astros lost another close one, bringing their record on Tuesdays to 8-16, by my unofficial count. If only we could all just recap the Wednesday games. Perhaps just as importantly, it dropped their overall record for the year to a ridiculous 51-107. Only a 4-game winning streak can save them from setting a new club record for losses.
Peacock pitched a pretty nice game; along with Cosart and Oberholtzer he has certainly been one of the bright spots of the 2nd half, and he looks poised to firm up a rotation spot next year. A couple of dinks and a HR by Beltre were the only blemishes on his night.
Matty D hit another homer, which at the time tied the game at 2. Dominguez seems to homer often on Tuesdays, but I can’t confirm that at this time.
The Astros had some chances to at least tie the game up at 3, getting men to 2nd or 3rd in the 6th, 7th, and 8th innings, but that elusive big hit never came.
Let’s Go Wodan! Fuck the Rangers.
