The Astros start the second half of their season with the best record in the American League and Alex Presley in center field.

Singles by Valbuena and Gattis and an RBI groundout by Singleton make it 2-1.  Double off the wall by Castro plates Singleton, and now a single by Presley plates Castro.

Astros take a 3-2 lead!

And after the Correa single/error, that's it for Masterson.  Five runs, all earned in 3.2, with two runners on.

Gattis with a bouncer up the middle, but fielded behind the bag for a FC.

But the Astros string some hits together...score 5 runs to take a 5-2 lead.

He'd better include tomato hornworms. Everything was fine in the garden last time Iooked, either yesterday morning or maybe Wednesday. Then I looked out the window this afternoon, and the Chinese pepper plants were down to one leaf between the two of them, and the poblano plant was down to about half of its leaves. I went out there, and there was a 5" long tomato hornworm chowing down on the Chinese peppers (literally, it was apparently also eating the peppers). It's my own damn fault, because last year a similar thing happened with all of my thyme plants, so I should have been more vigilant. But nature still pisses me off sometimes.

That's it for Straily.

Gattis with a leadoff double
Singleton pops out to SS
Carter singles to RF on a blooper...Gattis has to hold, so only gets to 3B.  Runners at the corner, one out
Castro...works the count to 3-0...draws a walk to load the bases with one out
Presley...battling, fouling off some touch pitches...and finally strikes out
Altuve...a lifetime .180 hitter with the bases loaded...singles to CF, just out of reach of the SS...Gattis scores, Carter scores!  Astros take a 7-5 lead!

Actually, the only other hitter that swings at as many balls is probably Gattis.  The difference is, Gattis can hit them.  Everyone else just swing and miss at everything.  I think being a little more disciplined would really help Tucker.

Actually, the only other hitter that swings at as many balls is probably Gattis.  The difference is, Gattis can hit them.  Everyone else just swing and miss at everything.  I think being a little more disciplined would really help Tucker. 

And that's one of the things that I found most impressive about Tucker when he came up: he seemed to be willing to let balls go if they were out of his hitting zone. But lately he seems to be a lot more anxious.

And Thatcher promptly serves up an RBI single, it's now 7-6, bases still loaded and still nobody out.

And Thatcher is out, Harris in to try to clean up Fields and Thatcher's steaming pile of poo.

DeAza with a grounder up the middle, but with the shift on, no possibility of the double play, Correa can only run to the bag himself.  Run scores to tie it up, but now two outs.

Well, two blown saves so far, and another blown lead that would qualify as a blown save, except that the starter couldn't qualify for the win.  Can't blame this one on the offense.  The bullpen has just shit the bed.

Nothing specific, but I wish Ashby would just shut the fuck up.  Four hours of all his stupid questions and observations is much too long.

Tucker hits a liner right between the first baseman's legs.  Ball kicks off the wall perfectly to the RFer, and Altuve has to hold at 2B.   And now Correa with a single to LF, Altuve scores to give the Astros a 9-8 lead!

With the bases loaded and a lead in the 10th on the road?  He'd better be getting the fucking green light.

Castro flies out to end the inning, but the Astros take a 4-run lead to the bottom of the 10th. 

I assume Hernandez will stay on.
