Astros put a crooked number on the board in the first frame, plating four, including Castro's three run dong. 4-0 Astros Top 2

Cosart gives two back in the top of 2nd and is over 40 pitches now through two. I guess we get the bad Cosart today that has control issues.

Gives up another run in the 3rd to cut the lead to 4-3.  Cosart is all over the place.  Jerome Williams up in the pen.

Cosart doesn't know how to finish a guy off with a K when he needs it. He needs to learn that and soon.

Castro with another caught stealing.  He doesn't have the rocket arm, but I love his quick release.

It is had to tell if the umps got it right in the first place and based on the replays we got it is hard to know why they overturned the original call.

At the plate...taking two belt high fastballs then hacking at a 58-footer.  With RISP.

Is there a worse offensive combo of DH/1B in the league? Their production is probably 60-70% of league average.

Farnsworth wasting no time getting hammered.  6-5 now, with two on, two out.

Downs ends the threat, but the Sox pick up a pair to make it a 1-run game.

6-5 Astros.

He was with the Rays for a couple of years and was pretty decent, but they seem to get the best out of whoever goes there, most of the time anyway.

Astros leave the bases loaded in the 8th.  On to the 9th with a 1-run lead.

In defense of HH, Springer's RF play has been comically atrocious, reminiscent of the 1962 steM.
