Miley walks the first two...

Sub-optimal beginning to the bottom of the inning. Everybody's command seems terrible up here in Denver.

Wade, Josh's performance yesterday was not meant as an example of what to do.

B1:

Blackmon...full count...takes one over the plate for ball four
Story...3-0...four pitch walk, Blackmon to 2B
Arenado...3-0...pops up in front of the mound, IFF in effect...White runs in a circle and drops it, but the out counts
Dahl pops out to shallow LF on the first pitch
Desmond singles up the middle, Blackmon scores, Arenado to 3B
Murphy...3-2...flies out F7

1-1

Yuli comically out by an entire zip code at the plate.

It's at least two first-pitch groundouts. I don't recall how many pitches he saw in the second AB.

Bottom 5.

Reynolds, pinch-hitting for pitcher, singles into RCF.
Blackmon flies out to Reddick at the fence in RF.
Story lines out on a smash to Yuli at 3rd. He dropped the ball transferring it for the throw to try to double off Reynolds.
Arenado strikes out on a nice outside pitch.

Astros still lead 4-1 after 5.

When Miley was one pitch away from walking the first three batters of the game, I would have never thought he would survive five innings and only allow one run. Nice recovery.

White.

Top of 6.

Bettis in to pitch for Colorado.
Ianetta out after fouling a pitch off his leg. Wolters in to catch.

Gurriel out on a nice play by Arenado on a slow roller.
Reddick grounds out 3U.
Chirinos singles to RF on the first pitch. Springer will probably hear about that later.
White taps out 1-3 on the first pitch.

My guess at Name That Astro: Vinny Castilla.

Kemp, pinch-hitting for Miley, gets dotted in the back on an 0-2 pitch.
Springer GIDP 4U-3. He is a frustrated man tonight.

Osuna in to pitch.

Wolters lines out to Reddick, who was shifted over toward the LF line.
McMahon strikes out swinging at something off-speed.
Hampson, pinch-hitting for Davis, strikes out swinging.

Astros win 4-2!

Another nice job by the pen, and a great job by Miley to turn things around after a shaky start.
