Runner on 2nd with 1 out in consecutive innings.

Not my preference, but I'll take just a 1 run deficit.

Montas’ fastball is pretty impressive. Don’t often see Astros swinging through that many.

Hopefully second time thru we'll see some productive contact.

That'll likely do it for Miley.

6 innings, 2 runs on 4 hits.

Strong outing. So far his opponent has been stronger.

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #27 on:** April 17, 2019, 10:49:19 pm »

It's about time for Yuli to hit another home run.

Yeah, two runs in six innings is perfectly acceptable for Miley. Now it's time for his buddies on offense to do their part.

A's pitchers did a really good job of keeping pitches on the edges. There really hasn't been much to hit.

Correa had a good cut at that one, just missed it.

I think he was taking all the way on the first pitch. Which of course was the fattest pitch Treinen threw the entire inning.
