Astros loaded bases in the first but didn't cash in.

Bottom 2, back to back 2 out doubles to right, Chicago takes the lead.

Second one was a double only because of Reddick's long run from shift and Correa not hanging on to throw at second.

That pitch Marwin popped up should have been crushed.

No kidding.

Gattis watching a mediocre slider and Fisher swinging at ball 4 over his head.

The Fisher and Gattis show is a real buzz killer.

Lopez has missed badly on some pitches.

He's teetering.

.600 OPS from DH is even worse than last season without the clubhouse presence Beltran brought.

Yet still better than the sub-.400 combined OPS and 50% K rate of Fisher/Marisnick.

Gattis has deteriorated from captain caveman to dude with a beard swinging a wet noodle at a remarkable pace.

But the noodle is being swung at an UNremarkable pace ... part of the problem.

That should do it for Lance.

Not his sharpest, but minimal damage.

Marisnick with a base hit.

Yes, that's right.

Maybe this is the start of a Jake hitting streak. I hope he doesn't get picked off.

true, but one is the DH and is only on the team to hit. Granted Jake is having a record year with strikeouts and if he doesn't turn it around it could be his last year as a professional baseball player.

I was just about to say: My sense of Marwin is that if he lets you down early he makes up for it late. That was awesome.

Jake struck out to end the inning, thus bringing balance back to the Force.
