Baseball before noon, can't get much better than that. Hopefully today is our turn to participate in home-run derby.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Nate out to start the game, Buck out to argue. Machado now up.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Machado out swinging. 2 down.

[BSLChrisStoner]

O's done quickly in the first as Davis also k's.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Barnes singles into left, starting the Houston 1st.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Paredes k's, good downward movement from Gonzalez on the split-finger.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Castro doubles into LCF.  Barnes to 3rd... 2 in scoring position with 1 out.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Dickerson makes a play at the wall. Barnes scores. 2 out.

[Markus]

That wasn't a terrible inning for Miguel. Though a few balls were hit hard, he was able to get out of it with giving up just the 1 run. Hopefully he can settle in.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Jones out to start the 2nd for the Birds.

[Markus]

Hardy with a double with Wieters using his blazing speed to get to third. 2nd and 3rd with 1 out.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Dickerson k's, 2 out.

[Markus]

Dickerson K's and it looks like a couple of O's are the biggest fans of the strike zone today.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Flaherty k's, O's unable to plate those 2 potential runs.

[Markus]

Nice bounce-back inning from Miguel there. Seems like he's really got his splitter working today. C'mon offense.

[Markus]

Adam Jones (our center fielder, not the guitarist for the awesome band Tool) with an RBI double to bring in Chris Davis. Tie game, 1-1.

[Markus]

Hardy singles in AJ, O's up 2-1.

[Markus]

It was an opposite field hit through the drawn-in infield for JJ too, which is nice to see from him.

The Astros see what we did there.
