Gattis check swing...grounds into triple play...Altuve out 5U at 3B, Correa out 5-4 at 2B, but Gattis inexplicably leaves 1B, thinking he was somehow out and is tagged out for the third out of the inning.

He's a much, much better catcher than I thought he was (admittedly I hadn't watched him much prior to this year), and he's not a waste at the plate either.

This is part of the problem with carrying so many pitchers on this team. There may not be enough innings to keep them sharp. McHugh pitched last night for the first time in over a week. When did Giles last pitch?  Hard to get everyone work. Meanwhile, your best right handed outfielder, other than Springer, Is allergic to contact.
