Aoki in the 7th hole looks odd.

He says he could PH tonight and will play tomorrow.

But we've heard that before.

I am half watching to a commentaryless feed. Is it accurate to say that a guy with a slider is striking out all the Astros?

Fun to half-watch Keuchel when he's pitching like this. All these would-be sluggers flailing at his 78-mph change.

Gurriel with a seeing-eye ground-ball single up the middle drives in Bregman, who led off the inning with a double (Aoki struck out after the Bregman double). Gonzales walks to put runners at 1st and 2nd with 1 out, but Springer hits a hard ground-ball to 2nd for the GIDP.

Astros win 5-1.

In case you missed it, the Rockets came back and won too, take a 2-0 series lead against Okie City.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Likely because if they lock down the 8th there's no save opportunity anyway. Might as well snuff them out before anything starts. Nice inning by Giles.

Eta: Yes, he could have gone two, but I don't think that was the intention. Maybe GC has a new stat they're tracking... "heart of the order holds"? We could call them HOTH's. Star Wars and baseball at the same time. Perfect.
