Another Bullpen Fail Snatches Defeat From the Jaws of Victory. Astros Get Walked-off 9-7

We’ve all heard Albert Einstein’s definition of insanity.

Ryan Pressly is pitching out of his mind over and over again in high leverage. And I don’t mean that in the good way.

And didn’t we expect something better than four losses and five meltdowns from the $90 million man?

At least it was a well-fought, back-and-forth game.

The Angels scored first in the second inning off Astros starter Justin Verlander after a Kevin Pillar one-out double, a Logan O’Hoppe single, and a Nolan Schanuel sac fly.

The Astros tied it up in the third off Angels starter Patrick Sandoval on a Jose Altuve single scoring Mauricio Dubon and took the lead on an Alex Bregman RBI double scoring Jose Abreu and a Jeremy Pena single scoring Altuve.
