[LoneStarPhan]

About as tough a spot as can be, bases loaded, no outs after 3 hits.

We cannot overlook the fact that the Astros are a good team, but I sure want to win this game tonight.

[Brashin]

Alvarado has to get the job done now as Nola was giving up the hits all night and it finally caught up to him

[BostonRoss]

I agree with bringing in Alvarado here. But I usually don't agree with Thomson; so I'm worried.

[Lucky_Beagle]

Had last 2 batters 0-2 after 2 pitches and they both got hits in the at bat

Another hit on an 0-2 count. That one hurts.

[EDmuch]

Oh well

[kikutaro]

Kyle Tucker

Foul (94.7 mph cutter)
In play, run(s) (101. mph sinker)

Kyle Tucker out on a sacrifice fly to center fielder Brandon Marsh. Yordan Alvarez scores. Alex Bregman to 3rd.

Houston Astros 4 - Philadelphia Phillies 0

[Brashin]

Welp looks like we are heading back to Houston unless we learn how to hit Javier

[LoneStarPhan]

That run charged to Avarado and the bull pen stats.

Going to be hard to come back down 4 with the way Javier is pitching, but we overcame 5 down in game one. Can't count on that though.

[kikutaro]

Yuli Gurriel

Foul (95.5 mph cutter)
Ball (95.2 mph cutter)
Swinging strike (100.4 mph sinker)
In play, run(s) (95.9 mph cutter)

Yuli Gurriel singles on a ground ball to left fielder Kyle Schwarber. Alex Bregman scores.

Houston Astros 5 - Philadelphia Phillies 0

[Brashin]

True however Javier has been untouchable so far and yet another 2 strike hit

[EDmuch]

Nola was sort of on the ropes the whole time he was in there. He wiggled out of it a couple of times. But his habit of giving up hits with 2 strikes surfaces.

[kikutaro]

Christian Vazquez

Swinging strike (99.3 mph sinker)
Foul (99.9 mph sinker)
Ball (99. mph sinker)
Swinging strike (94.7 mph cutter)

Christian Vazquez strikes out swinging.

[LoneStarPhan]

Failure to be able to put hitters away when ahead in the count 0-2 or 1-2 has been a problem. Frustrating and disappointing.

[EDmuch]

Losing this one could hurt. Verlander v. Syndergaard is not a good match up for Phil’s.
