Astros VS Diamondbacks Condensed Game 9/7/24

go and you say kuchi is ready to go here in his seventh start as a Houston Astro am I ready to go that is the question he tell Mar will'll pop this one up Alex bregman I can hear him calling that one it's good to have bregman back in the lineup today one out here in the first he has been on a tear but not last night there we go Kikuchi gets him swinging he's still over in this series lot of confidence in that pitch all of his pitches here recently one and two that one's going to get through for the first base hit of the game br's on now but he's just he looks like he's throwing everything with a lot of confidence why wouldn't you back to the system there it is two strikeouts for Kikuchi in the first off to a good start 17 strikeouts in 25 in the third innings there's Jose Altuve swinging at the first pitch the ears kind of pinned back a little bit and he says I got to go get some he's at 297 right now and he pops this one up just past the infield it's the short stop Heraldo Pomo who's going to make the play for the first out Astros Rodriguez one and two count on him and look at yordon Alvarez putting one in left field and he is getting extra bases as well he's going to get in there for a double swings high at that one the first strike out for Rodriguez against the starting pitcher and he dags one out to left but the left fielder Randall gritchen has it to in the first winning tank top for fber in the postgame show if you don't know what I'm talking about make sure you tune in for those let's see if Ben gaml can get to this one it's going to drop in front of him so Au henio Suarez will lead off with a single here in the second I asked him about it and he just said not good not good this one's going to get through just past Jose Altuve Suarez is going to make his way to third Runners on the corners now for the Dbacks with no outs first inning for Kikuchi falls behind to Kevin Newman here drives one into right field so the Dbacks or they're going to be on the board first as Tes touches home RBI single for Kevin Newman onew pitch coming he gets one to Peña who's going to go to tuve he gets to Diaz in time he does not and it's Jose Herrera the catcher he's going to drive one out to right field Ben gaml looks like he's going to get it he's going to throw it in to second but they are going to get another runner on on the sack fly Astros gets him you say Kikuchi out of it two runs on the board though for the Arizona Diamondbacks that's incredible yeah it was a great night last night here's Jam Peña going to get one through leading off the second with a base hit like to see that after the Diamondbacks put a couple on the board on you roll was coming over with the Astros everybody passing the torch from malado to Jer Diaz as he gets another base hit the center field but I think that's part of what makes kartini great is that he understands his job on this team gets one way up high the center fielder Jake McCarthy right there going to throw to third so everyone's going to stay put and he drives one out to Center McCarthy going back he's going to make that grab there goes Jeremy Peña advancing two outs in the inning that one's going to go to short Pomo is going to make the easy out to end the inning today is the flex paa bobblehead I'm sure people love that Diaz to kakuchi and he's out a great play it's really unbelievable how uh popular that is this is r gritch who's going to send one back to center field but Jake Myers is all over it for the second out but we've got an off day on Monday and baseball for the Astros that's a great deal ninth pitch that's grounded to Alex bregman who's going to test that elbow today final out thank you Jason him in theback Jersey I'm with you tuve hits that one hard that one's going to go all the way to the wall there goes Altuve to second base to lead things off with a double here in the third up like what this one's driven to Center McCarthy's going to watch it drop in front of him Altuve rounded third but he's going to stay right there Yer right to Pomo is going to turn the double play but Altuve will score so the Astros are on the board he hits another ball hard to the third baseman Suarez going to make the play goes across the diamond and Rodriguez is out of it but the Astros do get a run starts off the outside corner and then you're able to break it back onto that outside corner and game aot and right is going to make his way all the way back but he makes the play on side corner could be that little get me over just that one you flip in there to get a good look at it now tu tu go for the second out of the inning and Joe simply said good always good always good this is Kevin Newman and it's out of here Kevin Newman gets Kikuchi that's Newman's thirdd home run of the year and the Diamondbacks take a 3-1 lead with a solo home run I have to watch a replay to see where kartini was set up because that was a fast ball up and in and Newman pulled the hands in and just SN it into that right edge of the C box that area yeah kind of sneaks out and bites him every once in a while yeah I missed a spot looked like that glove was kind of down and Away hero is going to drive one left field but look like Jeremy p is there and he is that is going to end the inning two two count paa softly grounded Pomo trying to make the play on a speedy paa he got him they know what it's going to take this is a team that won the national league pennant last year going to draw a walk so kartini's aboard let's see how that plays out B Myers is on first a b and that's a loot three of the four have been change UPS two two pitch he gets one through chz cormack's going to drive a couple home Victor cartini scores Jake Myers is in and the Astros have tied things up here in the fourth the count to Altuve drives one into left field oh but the short stop moves back to make the play [Applause] yordon into right field Here Comes Ben gaml and there will be no throw as it's cut off the Astros Jump Ahead yordon Alvarez once again his third hit of the day this one a go-ahead RBI single we love bagging oh he's one of the best that one's going to go to Third and oh he doesn't make the play literally kicked it he kicks it thought he was going to step on the back [Applause] full he's going to draw walk so a Bases Loaded walk will put the Astros up 53 get things started Jeremy Peña pops one up Jake McCarthy will make the easy play to end the inning but it was a good inning for the Astros oh it's going to get all the way to back stop so Herrera will reach game but Todd Callis has the weekend off man vient swing yeah sing it Lisa believe it 2-1 pitch and there it is the first hit for Corbin Carroll really the first mistake slider ah third [Applause] Rich's going to ground one to bregman Altuve gets the out but he's legs taken out from underneath and Carol's going to check on him Walker goes out to left field but Jeremy Peña so far so good on the home St yeah the ash was playing good baseball at home he's going to be made the first baseman will toss over to floro for first out there's not a big chance of them coming back in that division wow Jake Myers called third strike go to a different couple of different players trying to find someone who is going to make contact at the bottom of the order he makes contact there but Christian Walker will toss over to the pitcher Dylan floro with a good inning out of the bullpen for the Diamondbacks head on a swivel Lauren actually I feel pretty safe here aeno Suarez going to lead off the six with a solo home run Second Home Run Allowed by Kikuchi today and they are with in [Applause] one couple of hits now in this game for aeno Suarez this is a slider again missed its spot kind of traced back over the middle part of the plate watch it come to the middle part of the plate Suarez just leaned on it got enough of it to shoot it into the Crawford boxes but you're a little about it oh oh right back up the middle Jake McCarthy gets past Kikuchi but Jeremy PNE is there to make the play for the first out of the inning the life oh the life it's probably a two handicap Strikes Out Kevin Newman Pomo here's going to hit one right to Altuve and Kikuchi he's facing floro and he's got another hit baby steps just get back into the swing of things that's a little more Chazzy right there taking a pitch at home but I don't have on got to work on that Altuve will bero makes the stop he's going to reach thought that was going to get through there for a second but Pomo had a glove on it either way Altuve yon Alvarez with a couple of on he's going to send one out to right field Corbin Carrol is going to run that down and he's retired for the first time [Applause] today up the middle that's going to get through there goes Chaz McCormick he's going home and in there easy gner Diaz adding to the Astros lead with the RBI single and that big beginning when that's grounded two3 Suarez trying to make the play and not going to be made and Altuve is going to cross home the Astros continue to tack on Jeremy Paya drives one to right field it keeps going and it's in the bullpen jery p a three round bomb the Astros have opened it up now against the Diamond Back jp3 going Oppo Taco for a big blast what a great pitch to do it on too it was right down the [Applause] middle that had to feel good for Goodall just didn't want to come down it was one of those Back Spin liners that just took off welcome back Jeremy p with with a big swing in this game trying to open things up got a hanging fast ball and he absolutely hammered it 105.7 off the bat and had some late life on it getting it into that Astros Bullpen rattling of the bullpen GUI hits one high to rightfield Corbin Carroll back way back PA's carrying it was come back with multi-run Innings Jak Meers strikes out to in the inning but five runs hope that they could maybe catch the Dodgers in the NLS they were just going to have to play well as Jose Herrera gets on to lead off the seventh but those chances are are getting really Slim now now it's just the two World Series contenders last year the Diamondbacks have a better record El over there wonder if kartini thought that hit Marte yeah even the Astros dugouts trying to figure out what was going on clearly yeah and then 5 and a half games is backs as the Cubs Jeremy P will make the play at first Herrera moving to third to the left fielder he sends one high everyone's coming in for it Jake Meers looks like he has it but Corbin does not go despite tagging up look like he might up the middle bounces high and Jose altu makes the play a run will score as Walker reaches wow that took a crazy bounce two two pitch is sent up high Jake Meyers is there and the Astros are out of it sideways like flick of the wrist little frisbe how'd it go better better Gamel strikes out all right Chaz McCormick will one high oh that was way high but the left fielder gret all over it yeah I was going to say at least one yeah remember the second one hey Jose Altuve get into the Crawford boxes altu with number 19 on the year now tuay showing some quick hands on that fast ball up and in he loves him some fast balls at the top of the Zone but two hitting a laser into the seats watch this pitch up top watch how quickly that Barrel goes flying through just Tomahawk that one into the profit boxes on a line quickly approaching that [Music] 20 they get y on to end the inning but Jose Altuve adds to the Astros lead 115 doing Less in the gym but still those innings are going to rack up and that's a fair ball Diaz trying to make the play oh it gets past ronell Blanco so Jake McCarthy is going to be on is he all right is the question yeah just please up big man down hits him first strike out for Blanco 3-1 to count he's going to miss there so a walk allowed shooting all the things this one's popped up to center field Jake Meyers for the second out she doesn't W all over was really way to go gets him on that one ryel Blanco Works around a couple on base Yer Diaz leading things off a will strike out to start the inning here so here is Alex bregman ground one is short for Domo making the play just sitting in the cage with the guys bregman's always up to something trying to help everybody looks like Christian Walker is going to have it 4 final out of the inning wow good change up Corin Carol herner played later today another good change up another strike [Applause] out ronell Blanco gets him Astros win the series beating the Diamondbacks today 11 to5 this offense putting on a show in front of the home fans pitching doing what Astros pitching has been doing getting it done that one feels good for a lot of ways blumber
