HOUSTON — Matt Olson thought about it for a few seconds, what it meant to flip a 15-0 loss Monday into a 21-7 win against powerhouse-division-rival Houston Astros on Tuesday night.
Extreme score flips call for extreme language.
“It’s awesome to respond to… there’s no other way to put it, an a**-kicking yesterday,” Olson said. “To be able to kind of come back after what happened yesterday, we always know we can compete against these guys. To do it in the fashion we did was nice.”
The win came in many fashions. Excruciating death-by-single fashion. Power-barrage fashion.
