Last night there were seventeen runs. It was a slugfest, and it seemed no pitcher could be relied on to stop the others’ offense.
Tonight, at first, it looked like it was going to be a repeat.
Alex Bregman put the Astros on top almost right away in the first with a solo home run just over the fence in the left field corner.
But when it came time for the Rockies to bat, it felt like they were going to put the game out of reach right away. Wade Miley, normally a good control pitcher, could not find the strike zone in the first inning.
