Fastball, outer third, thigh high, hammered on a line to right center field seats.

Corporan goes deep.  4-2 Astros. 

Stretch time.  The bullpen feels as if it's being taunted.

Who will take the Chapman/Fields role today? Maybe the Chadder - he can always be counted on.

What was the out on R Davis for batter interference with the catcher in the bottom of the 8th?

It was either that our it was the result of the baseball hitting Davis outside of the batter's box.

Keuchel was sharp yesterday. That yellow hammer inside to righties was new and something for which the Tigers were not ready.

He also threw about 75% of his pitches for strikes.

He is indeed. He's going to make me eat my Astros hat because I didn't think that he had that in him.
