Astros grab the lead 1-0 in the top of the third, thanks to Hanks speed on the bases.

This play is going to be overturned, but I sure like having Marisnick in the outfield.

I don't know Jim.  Until that walk he was 0 for 3.  If it were solely up to Lowrie there wouldn't have been a single run.

I have been on the home feed most of the night because the Astros feed freezes a lot.  They (Astros) did talk about some of the Astros injuries early in the game.  Stassi is enroute, Springer playing at CC tonight and Carlos just hang around resting,

MarGo ks.  Useless.
Gates walks. 
Reassume gets to first on an E1, Gattis to 2nd
Gomanzez Ks.  Thank goodness the 'Stros got Fiers in that trade.
Loire lines the ball straight Escobar.  What a huge hole in the lineup.

Top of the 9th, 4-1 Astros.
