The most impressive display at the Oakland Coliseum last night wasn't Houston's hitting barrage to win 9-1 over the Oakland A's, but the Matrix-like moves of Astros pitcher Collin McHugh to avoid being struck in the face by a line drive.
In the bottom of the second inning, the A's Kendrys Morales hit a come-backer directly towards McHugh's head. The pitcher was somehow able to contort his body to avoid the ball, which ended up being converted for a conventional 4-3 double play.
