Astros with gidp in 1st and 2nd innings.

The second one is under review . . . looks safe . . . umps agree.

Runner on 1st, 1 out for Reddick.

Josh hits into a 4-6-3 dp to keep the streak alive.

A single followed by a gapper at the wall for the Tribe, but lead runner is gunned down at the plate. Score it 7-6-2 on the put out at the plate.

Runner on 2nd, 2 outs for Perez.

Need to unload on this pitcher. He may have been good once, and might be in the future, but he’s trash tonight.

Yordan on 2nd after a double. 1 out.

Correa up 2-0, takes ball 3 for strike 1 (I guess it was close), then up/in for ball 3, then breaking ball is in for a strike; fouls off the first payoff pitch, K's swinging.

Yuli up.

austro · « **Reply #19 on:** August 01, 2019, 07:07:01 pm »

Correa watches a cement mixer on the 3-1 pitch and winds up flailing at pitches out of the zone to ultimately strike out.

Yuli gets a 3-1 count, fouls off a pitch for 3-2, takes outside to walk.

1st/2nd, 2 outs for Reddick.

Josh takes inside 1-0, fouls off a high curveball 1-1, then flares one into left that's caught.

Many baserunners but only 2 runs thus far for the Astros.
