"We've had a lot of green lights this year," Hinch said. "I think you watch our team, we're a little unpredictable at times and we get a little bit big, but we can do a lot of damage on any swing. So I don't want to give any swing away."
The Astros entered the game 7-for-29 with the bases loaded, so the two big hits by Springer and Gattis were timely. Hinch admitted it might not have been the highest-percentage play, but he said the players are comfortable swinging at 3-0.
