You know it is a good night at the plate when the lineup collects a hit in nearly 42% of their plate appearances. 20 hits across 48 plate appearances against Reid Detmers and company. 10 runs total. With a lineup that has struggled at times for consistency to score runs, it was a nice break from that kind of worry and heartburn.
The game felt, more or less, over by the third inning when the Astros jumped to an early 7-1 lead. One run in the first followed by two in the second provided some hope that the lineup wouldn’t miss a beat.
