Good to see Beltran's wheels in the 2 spot. Just missed that one.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Coming into this game, Jake Marisnick has as many home runs as the Astros 3, 4, 5 and 6 hitter combined.

Altuve walks on four pitches

That's all for Snell, Hunter in

Correa flies out to shallow RF
Altuve steals 2B
Gattis grounds out 3U, Hunter didn't cover 1B, so Morrison had to take it himself and Altuve, who was running on the pitch, comes all the way around to score from 2B

Hunter injured on the play, out of the game.  Pruitt, from the Woodlands, in for the Rays

Bregman flies out F9

Astros regain the lead 3-2

Tough luck for Harris...gives up three routine ground balls and a little broken bat flair to RF...all three inherited runner score, plus at least one of his own.  Rays up 6-3, runners at 2B and 3B, still just one out.

ETA:  Check that...two inherited runners scored, two earnies for Harris.

B6:

Souza doubles to LCF
Morrison...quickly 0-2...1-2...2-2...3-2...walks
Norris singles to CF, Souza to 3B, Morrison to 2B
Peterson chops to 1B, over the drawn in Gurriel's head, Altuve fields it, but no play as Harris is late covering 1B, Souza scores, Morrison to 3B, Norris to 2B
Beckham flairs a single to RF, Morrison scores, Norris to 3B, Peterson to 2B
Dickerson grounds into FC, Norris out 4-3, Peterson to 3B, Beckham to 2B
Bourjos, pinch hitting for Kiermaier, infield in...rolls one past a drawn in SS, Peterson scores, Beckham scores, Dickerson to 3B, Bourjos moves to 2B on the throw to 3B

That's all for Harris, tough luck for him.  Hoyt in

Longoria, infield still in...lines out to SS
Miller strikes out looking

But Morton falls apart, and Harris can't bail him out...Rays lead 6-3

Congratulations! I couldn't figure it out.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Ron Kulpa was the umpire that C4 famously head butted in an argument over the batter's box.

Tweaked his hammy. Day to day. That means he probably misses at least three games.
