Angels 7, Astros 10
W: Fister, L: Chacin,
box score
What a fun evening it was at Minute Maid Park on Monday night. The Astros bats found the ball and the ball found spots where the Angels weren’t. I do think Calhoun for the Angels had a bit of a rough night in RF and Trout could see the ball going over his head. It truly was a great night at the ballpark for Astros fans.
Doug Fister did a great job again. He went 7 innings giving up 2 runs. I think one of those runs should have been an out, but Gomez was not able to catch the ball.
You are also probably looking at the score thinking BudGirl that game wasn’t close the Astros only won by 3 runs. Well, it was close until Tony Sipp entered the game. He proceeded to load the bases, strike one out, then give up a grand slam (by former Astros Gregoria Petite) in the top of the 9th. Take away his third of an inning pitching performance and it was a great pitching effort by Houston.
So, here’s to the Astros making a strong run to .500 tomorrow and hopefully going straight to .507 on Wednesday!
