Swihart strikes out.

Leon drills one to left. Off the scoreboard and again Davis makes a good play and throws a strike to Altuve to hold him to a single.
Benintendi battles but goes down swinging on a quality off speed pitch.
Bogaerts doubles down the line in left. Leon to third.
Sam Travis pinch hitting for Martinez. Rips a fat fastball up the middle scoring Leon and Bogaerts.
Moreland bounces one to Altuve who turns too quickly to try for the double play drops the ball and has to settle for the out at first.
Nunez strikes out swinging.
Giles is mediocre again in a non save situation.

You were "running the gauntlet", as they kept describing it, against the best teams in the AL. 8-3 was there for the taking, you just had to not fuck it up. *Boom*, you're 5-6, and you've lost the lead in your division. The schedule gets a little easier the next few weeks, but the Astros had better pull their heads out of their asses.

And with 2 outs, it drops to .174. His high leverage situation average is .154 and he's slugging .179. He's hitting .156 in the first inning of games, when there is a runner on base. In short, Correa continues to get worse and worse in clutch situations.
