Another game of seemingly wasted ace pitching and offensive futility. Tonight the Astros got only one hit in 11 chances with runners in scoring position.
Oh, but what a hit it was.
Tyler, the Great White, call him Mack the Knife, “he has such teeth dear. And when that shark bites, ooo, scarlet billows, they start to spread.”
For the second straight night, an Astros late inning, jack knife home run, right in the back, spread scarlet billows in the shallow waters that were once the San Francisco Giants’ meager playoff hopes.
And maybe just a scarlet tinge in the hopes of our AL West rivals as well.
