Be careful what you wish for.
The Padres were probably pretty happy to have Jose Altuve ejected for protesting a clearly wrong call. I mean, who would you rather face in extra innings, a future Hall of Famer, or some guy named Grae Kessinger.
But lets be honest, thirty four year old Jose Altuve probably doesn’t make the play that saved the game.
But first.
The Astros’ recent hitting woes continued tonight, but the Astros did manage a 2-0 lead in the fourth on the strength of a Kyle Tucker leadoff single, an RBI Jon Singleton double, and an Jeremy Pena RBI fielder’s choice that scored Alex Bregman.
