Bottom 1:

Altuve knocks first pitch into left field for a single; swipes second on second pitch.
Springer grounds out 5-3, failing to advance the little guy.
Correa spanks an outside pitch into the right field corner for an RBI double!
Rasmus crushes a two run shot way up into right! All RBIs so far coming on 2-2 counts.
*(Homers in first seven games of season sets a club record.)
White hits one well to center for an out.
Gomez grounds out 5-3 on a nice play by Moose Tacos.

Three runs on three hits, nobody left. 3-0 good guys.

I wish I was there with everyone. Sounds like MMPUS is rocking.

Top 2:

Hosmer grounds out 4-3.
Morales lines out to center.
Gordon singles softly into right center.
Perez pops out foul to White.

The shutdown inning a welcome rarity in the early going!

Bottom 2:

Tucker grounds into the shift, 4-3.
Valbuena follows suit after a pretty good battle.
Castro, riding his first one-game bunt-for-a-hit streak of the year, Ks swinging on the third pitch. End of 2, still 3-0.

Top 3:

Infante Ks looking at a 1-2 curve on the inside corner.
Fuentes singles on a ball Correa almost made a nice play on. Probably should've had it.
Escobar flies out to right.
Moose Tacos pops out to left.

One hit, one left on, and I've got to scoot. Can someone take over?

By the way, what is MM like when Correa bats? I'm envisioning something between the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show and a One Direction concert.

Let the record reflect that it is more akin to a state of bliss,  not unlike Cameron witnessing Sloane disrobe during Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

You know the Holocaust? Picture the exact opposite.

I love Jeff Bagwell, and I really, really hope he gets into the HOF this next go around.  But his induction speech may be painful to watch.

I have almost no doubt it will be painful.
