00:00 Houston takes the opener. We were tied midway through the contest yesterday, DRS, and then
00:07 the bats really, really woke up for the Astros. 13 runs, a 13-6 victory. DRS, how significant
00:16 was Houston taking the opening game of this set against Texas yesterday?
00:20 Well, I mean, it was massive overall because when you take a look at them coming into this
00:24 game, losers at three straight against the New York Yankees and also down three to nothing
00:27 early against the Rangers, you knew sooner or later they had to turn it on because that
00:31 lead in the West, or let's just say being favored in the West, was going to disappear.
00:35 But they turned on the gas. 13 hits, excuse me, 13 runs, 16 hits in that game. Altuve
00:40 went, "Wow, you need your superstars to carry you in the biggest moments," and he did that.
00:44 I said, "I still like the Houston Astros moving forward," but that was a massive win because
00:49 then you would look at four straight losses, one to your division rival, and maybe you
00:53 start to doubt yourself. Big-time win there, at least for the psyche of the Houston Astros
00:56 and certainly for the standings.
