I like it when the Astros score first.

Astros load the bases with no outs in the 1st, but can only manage a sac fly from Singleton. Dominguez called out looking in an atrocious at bat. I'm not sure why he's hitting this high in the lineup.

Astros strand two more in the 2nd. Gotta find a way to drive some runs in.

Astros lead 1-0.

Snakes get a single then Altuve boots one. Runners at the corners, 1 out.

Inciarte swipes 2b. Two runners in scoring position. Good throw easily gets him.

Inciarte getting checked out.

Inning over, but Dbacks pick up an unearned run to tie it.

Astros are mashing, but can't seem to score. DBacks have had two base runners.

This is maybe the third game I've gotten to watch this year and I've learned three things: 1. Ashby has an annoying laugh, 2. both Brown and Ashby are infatuated with a guy named Drake that I've never heard of, and 3. Singleton is a bad, bad dude.  I'm glad he got called up.

Who do you put there instead? Carter? Villar? Corporan? Grossman? Castro is on the bench.

Shit with 2 out in the 6th, wild pitch goes right between Corporan's legs to plate a run.

Inning over, but Dbacks get a run on one hit. Astros are mashing, but letting the Snakes stay in striking distance.

I have NBA on the big screen so the Astros are relegated to the small screen, I will definitely take your word for it though.

Dominguez grounds into 1-2-3 double play. The ball actually thrown into RF, but Dominguez called out on interference. Astros again squander a bases loaded no out situation.

Goldschmit hits what should be a ground ball single ends up with a double because of an opposite field shift. 1 out, tying run in scoring position.

No kidding. This game should have been about 8-1. Instead they left runner after runner on, errors, wild pitches...

Feel sorry for Feldman. No decision.

Singleton intentionally walked to load the bases.

Brings up Dominguez with bases loaded and one out and winning run at 3b.

Dominguez grounds into 5-3 double play. He's now made 7 outs in this game and left 8 runners in scoring position.

Extra innings.

1,2,3 10th for Sipp. Going to the bottom of the frame. Still 4-4.

Ok, we go to commercial, players run off the field, but apparently we're still in the 10th.

Catcher's interference called during the commercial. Next batter grounds out, however (as far as I can tell).

They didn't mention any during the broadcast.  I'm assuming he was going to get xrays.

Whew. That's a relief, and surprising. The HBP did not look good.

If he did have to go on the DL they'd need to clear a 40-man spot as there are no other middle IFs on there... I suppose they could transfer Cisnero to the 60-day DL. Guessing Torreyes would be the guy, though who knows, maybe they'd jump Fontana up for a look.

I haven't been watching closely the attendance of late since the club's fortunes have improved on-field but they had 33k in the park last night. (announced anyway).

Not quite. I was listening to the Astros game on my phone while I was at the game. By the time I got back to the hotel, it was the seventh inning of the Astros game. I love that six clubs now have worse records than the Astros.

I was at the grocery store 2 or 3 weeks ago, wearing an Astros t-shirt as usual, and as I headed down an aisle a guy was coming from the other direction wearing a Red Sox jersey. He looked at me with a mixture of disdain and pity, and shook his head slightly. I really hope I run into him again this weekend.
