Massie will lead it off and that's lined into right field for a base hit so a leadoff base runner Michael Massie on for Bobby Whit Jr 2-1 and wit hits it a mile high to left field over toward the line goes gaml out is Peña as well gaml gets there makes a two-handed grab and that's out number one back to first base goes Massie and pasquantino lifts this one third base side foul ground bregman racing over onto the warning track stops makes the catch a step shy of the Royals Dugout railing for the second out the onew swing at a Miss struck about on a cutter down and Away down goes Perez and brown this season that's 10th best in the American League and now the Astros bat for the first time Jose Altuve leads off Sinker broken back grounder hit on the ground the short Bobby Wht jun's got it throws over to First in time for the out on the hulking and ever dangerous left-handed hitting yordon Alvarez slaps the single into center field good start for the home stand for yordon Alvarez one

the Astros Sinker bounc softly right back to the mound singer got it plants fires to the first in time for the out brings up Michael Garcia Garcia punches it shallow right center field Hayward Dives and Smothers it no catch Garcia safe at first with a single first game is an astro in minute made park for Jason Hayward a five-time go Glover and he nearly showed the Astros fans why Garcia he'll steal he's got 32 only been caught once there he goes isbel takes down and in and Michel will be in there and he picked a really good pitch to run on he gets great jumps that's one of the reasons why he's so successful his success rate is off the charts 32 and that's lifted in the shallow right Hayward loping in he's there makes the catch on the side is retired two out they claimed him off waivers from the Mets slider swung on and missed strike three that was a biting breaking ball down and in and gaml chased it so Brady singer's got his first strike out Peña chops it to the right side Massie

out for brown we play three and a half at minute and a swing and a liner the right field coming in hson to make the catch that liner came right to him sometimes Oaks could be tricky when they're kind of hited right at you but Garrett made the play and retired the dangerous Alvarez you now Alex bregman who's now 30 years old and that is called strike three good morning good afternoon and good night he has a couple of words for the home played umpire as he walks back to the Dugout and they toss him yeah bregman had his back to toy he was walking away when toy ran him but clearly had something he wanted to say to him because after he struck out he went between Perez went behind Perez the catcher to say something to tosy as he walked by that's four strikeouts now for singer that'll bring up Jer Diaz with two away two two and that is called strike three on the Sinker Brady singer a one two three fourth inning and he's retired 10 ground ball left side deep in the hole backhanded by Wht he bobbles on the exchange and pñ reaches first without a throw Whit was a couple of steps into the Outfield would have had a tough time getting paa that's likely to be a base hit as singer had retired the last 12 in a row here's John Singleton struck out his first time 2-1 hued up the third Baseline J fair and goes into foul territory on his way to third is Peña and down the second goes Singleton with one of the softest hit doubles you will ever see that ball was literally off the end of his Bat just queued down the third Baseline a beautiful thing so here we are with action Jason Hayward with an opportunity in his second AB as an Astro and the infield comes in with one out two- pitch that one hit hard down the line that'll be extra bases two runs will score Hayward into second base and
