yordon Alvarez one out base runner for Alex bregman snatch one into the seats but it looks like they're going to stay away this one topped over the left side long throw just does get Alex bregman and they are two away 63 straight games that Jer had played either first base and then this one right back to singer and that'll retire the side so 3-1 we're scoreless had a swing and a miss went upstairs beat him there backto back strikeouts by S Perez and Paul D young there's one away first start in August it was under four tapped out front Yer will step out throw him out there's two away in the middle of the series 1-1 that one flared and over Hayward driving did he make the catch it got away from him a diving Try by Jason Hayward wasn't quite able to come up with it that'll fall in male Garcia with the single but what an with those 32 bags and there he does go yers throw down sometimes you just outrun the baseball the schedule gets a little bit easier Royals didn't think that this one into right field Flair coming in is Hayward he'll make the catch and that'll retire the side so a hit but the just a matter of getting reacquainted but just wants to help the team win guys I'd say 10 for 23 he's looking right at home but he strikes out here make it 10 for 24 couple of hops Michael Massie throw him out and there's two away get all that much easier for the Astros there's a couple of series but singers looking solid yep strike three called second strike out that'll retire the side all of our Olympians that we've invited come and join us we're going to have right back up the middle and Hunter Brown will throw him out they're going make check on him it's almost like everybody's going to be winning a gold medal got fireworks going off all right we're we're dog people what do you got as far as as far as that is concern Brown stealing yes he is he is first friend it's awesome 02 pitch strike three didn't get through everything man singer will clip this one there's one

the side Brandon when duban made the catch on Brandon Marsha's Fly ball to end the seventh there's a popup coming in for it as gaml and he'll make the to catch whenever that catch was made in left field by yeah denzo was using his first baseman's glove broken bat bouncer here's bregman throw out Salvador Perez there's two away in the fourth game and two out single to muel Garcia there's a swing and a miss and Hunter brown with another strike out Road about 300 points higher as far as the Ops yordon though this one got a little bit not quite lofted enough it was hit hard but a line drive right at times Alex is 0 for one grounded out to Third Base his first at bat and takes that one right off the outside corner but called to strike it's he just threw him out there is no reason to call Alex or throw him out on that he walked right past Alex tosy and said that that zone was bad if anybody in this league knows the strike zone it's him but Alex toy took upon himself to throw out the Astros All-Star third baseman and made it about him instead of the game wow two pitches bottom and outside Alex just wanted to go back there and have a little bit of a comment and unfortunately Alex toy got sensitive that's enough right there wow yeah it's a whole new ball game isn't it man now strike three called and that'll do it for the Astros in the fourth a solo home run and two singles in that game against the Orioles Melendez whitcom ball of find yeah he throws him out catch his breath get the heart rate down a little bit focus on that next pitch 32 pitch miss downstairs so one- out base runner for the royals here in the fifth inning is 32 Pitch hit in the air to center field back on it is Jake Meers he'll make the catch Garcia have to get back to first base there's two away grounded out his first at bat Runner goes throw down got him just a second time this season he's thoughts stealing as Mel Garcia thrown out there you saw it again there's one out let's go to Julia you don't that's what he said he said it's different in the Outfield oh here's Jeremy this deep in the hole and he won't even make a play Oh Whit tried to come up throw it but I'm not sure you would have gotten Jeremy Peña flying down the line fouled back into the netting this has been oh yeah that's a beauty right there down the line for John Singleton poo going to third base Singleton into second location location location for John Singleton two- pitch that one hit hard down the line that'll be the extra bases two runs to score Hayward into second base and welcome to Houston Jason Hayward a two run double and the Astros lead it two to [Applause] nothing this one to center field and playable isbel gone back but comes in a couple of steps Hayward will have to stay at second and now tuve ground ball to wit throws across and that'll retire the side but the Astros score a pair on three hits and Lead it after five two to nothing the guy that's going to give you that kind of day on a day in which he doesn't have his best stuff this one hit high in the air Meyers and gamble coming together and Jake will have this one runs on two hits for the Royals this one hit in the air coming over is Hayward Hayward should have a play does in Fair territory two away no answer for that did a great job of setting up that pitch this one up the middle Peña quickly to first base sck and fly out a retire the side five and a half done good hitters count to a very very good hitter on base hit a leadoff base runner here for the Astros in the sixth inning top this one going to be a tough play see on the Run there's one out but moves yordon Alvarez into scoring position Astro leading at two nothing back up the middle backhanded and Massie will throw him out there's two away Gordon Alvarez moving into third base gaml W throw him out and that'll retire the side so the Astro strand a man big hop for Singleton backs up on it the 3-1 put out for the first out of the seventh inning oh got under Jeremy peña's glove and what would have been an easy play at first base that'll be an E6 first base that's one couple of hops Shay wham's second for one to First base he's safe at first couldn't quite take it around the horn and there's two away three balls two strikes two outs Runner goes and that misses inside ball four but two Runners on as D young pru doesn't want to get there 3-2 pitch topped on the left side Whit double clutches safe at first [Applause] base one two left side and that is a fair ball gamble gets it throws it back in but two runs score and they it three runs in and the Kansas City Royals take the 3-2 lead on a ball that just found Fair territory three-run double and this change this game dramatically that'll retire the side but the Kansas City Royals put a three spot on the board in the seventh there's a five pitch walk and a good start here in the seventh inning for the Astros is Jeremy Peña two and two swing and a miss and disenzo goes down [Applause] swinging oh just BW the fast B right by him 93 mph for [Applause] receiver Myers on the ground going be a long throw by Garcia he'll make it and that'll retire the side the Astros got a lead off walk but spent some time on the injured list coming back from a little bit of a lower back issue ground ball to Altuve and this time can't come up with it that is another play that should be made and a leadoff base runner in the second error of the night for the Astros up the middle could be two Altuve to First double play did you see that about as tailor made as it gets swinging a Miss welcome back Ryan Presley strong eth inning middle of the [Applause] eighth Ball Four lead off walk here in the eighth swing and a drive to the warning track and not quite enough fans thought they got it and yordon thought he got it it up it came off the bat at almost 110 mph wow this one to center field that'll be down for a hit Altuve into second base and now two on here in the eighth inning with one out Diner Diaz 0 for his last eight this one up the middle barehanded to first base and it's thrown away Altuve will come in to score and that'll tie the ball game unbelievable so the Astros taking advantage of some bad defense that ball knocked down with a bare hand of EG came up firing and threw it into the line pass quino reaching into Yer Diaz takes a little bit of the brunt of it as it gets past him and with that ball going down the right field line Jose Altuve scores that tying run easily Rangers beat the White Soxs earlier today on the southide two to one and Gamma will be intentionally walked to load the bases shriber to Peña two- two pitch Garcia come home there's the out there and there's two [Applause] away B for he walks in the lead run what a plate appearance for the rookie Zack disenzo duban that's a base hit this will score two and the Astros take the lead and extend the lead a huge hit for Macio duban a two-run single and the Astros lead it 6 to3 after single in a couple of errors here we are that's strike three but we will go to the ninth inning in a brand new ball game as the it's hater working to S Perez this one to gzo diving stop plenty of time he'll throw across and a double tap on the foot with tertini and there's one away swinging a miss two away in the ninth to left field duban is is there and the Astros win it 6 to3 Houston taking the first of this four game series like a 4run eighth inning it wasn't the cleanest game but it's one that goes in the wind column and the Astros will certainly take it yeah this was a circuitous route but going out there and being able to salvage this win after seeing some of the Damage Done by some errors the Astros able to hold on strong Joe is spot empty that bench Alex bregman's first ejection I mean we had everything involved in this game and fortunately
