You can’t keep a good man down, they say. Or a good team either. Like storms breaking through a drought in the rain forest, eventually talent will assert itself.
We’ve been saying here that it was just a matter of time before the Astros bats would break out, and tonight, it seems, the break out began. The inmates are on the loose.
The Astros scored six runs tonight, their most all year, mostly on the strength of three home runs, a two run shot by George Springer, another two run homer by Michael Brantley, both in the fifth inning, and a solo shot by Robinson Chirinos in the sixth.
