This Sanchez guy looks pretty good.  I hope the hitters make him throw strikes.

Damn, Hernandez loses it quickly. 2 bombs so far this inning. 4-0 Jays. I wonder how many more starts he gets.

It was quick, but it was thorough.

Geez, I completely missed the time on this one.  Turned it on expecting it to be just starting and we're already in the bottom of the 5th, Astros down 5-0
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

They were waiting on you to turn on the offense.

Three easy groundouts ends the Astros' 6th.

Maybe they're confused about which offense is supposed to start up?

Jays with two hits, two runners on with 1 out here in the 6th.  Hernandez is really laboring.

Bizarre play...ground ball to Altuve who throws low, picked by Carter, ruled an out, but runner knocks the ball out of Carter's glove as he holds it up to show he caught it, and the runner on second scores.  6-0 Jays.

That's it for Hernandez.

Thatcher in.  Throws one pitch and gets a 4-3 ground out to end the inning.  But the Jays get a break on a play you won't see again...6-0 now.

Springer finally hits one hard, but it's an out at the wall in CF.

Bizarre play now updated to a throwing error on Altuve, even though he got an assist and a force out on the same throw.

Castro!  Destroys the shutout with a leadoff dinger in the 9th.

6-1 now.

Villar with a single
Springer follows with a single, Villar to 3B.  Runners at the corner with nobody out, and that's all for Sanchez as the Jays go to the pen.

Altuve strikes out looking on a pitch off the plate.  Can't remember the last time I saw Altuve take strike three.

Gattis strikes out swinging to end the game.

So once again, the Astros have a runner at 3B and nobody out and:

Strikeout
Strikeout
Strikeout

Rattled the bats a little, but a few innings too late, and go down 6-2.
