Just following on gameday, but gotta like McCullers striking out two in a row after giving up the 1-out double (and striking out the side).

Both pitchers are very sharp through 2.

It may be selective memory, but the Astros never seem to fare well against the Asian import pitchers.

If McCullers ever starts to command these pitches, he'll be extremely hard to beat. But right now he simply throws too many balls too far out of the zone.
