Position player Aaron Miles is now pitching for St. Louis.
Aaaand he hits Ransom with a pitch to put one on.
JR Towles hits a top-of-the-wall 2-run homer to make it, what, 18-0? Towles now has 8 RBIs in one night, club record. Ransom and Towles have gone to bat 12 times each tonight, says Brownie.
Brownie: JR will be announcing his retirement tonight after the game.
JD: (laughs hysterically)
Brownie says that's Towles' first major-league homer, and since it went into the Astros bullpen, it should be easy for him to get the ball.
Oh, um, Quintero hit a single, Anderson hit a single, runners on 1st and 2nd.
Ausmus up, down 0-2, and the crowd just cheered madly at those two strikes.
Aus GDP at 2nd and 1st, and while the crowd is happy, Aaron Miles just looks like he'd rather be walking on a bed of razor blades.
