00:00 Houston has bounced back. They avoided the sweep against New York winning the finale of that set
00:08 before they headed to the Motor City this weekend to take on Detroit. Houston wins yesterday 9-3
00:15 as a slight road underdog against the Tigers. 9-3 goes over a total of 7.5. The Astros win
00:22 two or three games this weekend with the final victory in the Bronx. The Astros have won three
00:28 of their last four. Again a large hill to climb for Houston to even get back to 500 albeit a
00:35 winning record but the Astros have to start somewhere. Is this the start? Yeah maybe it is
00:41 and again you look at that lineup here Tucker, Peña, Alvarez and Bregman the first four. I said
00:45 whoa where's Altuve not playing yesterday but Tucker comes up in that RBI spot. He gets two RBI
00:51 which included a home run yesterday and they needed that. So if you're looking at Houston
00:55 sometimes Ben you got to take those baby steps right. Two out of three you just want to put
00:59 series wins together and I always use that adage like you can't make up six and a half games in
01:04 two days here. You got to just continue to win. Hope those teams come back and also keep in mind
01:09 not a lot of teams absolutely on fire out there in the AL West. So forget about the wild card
01:13 positioning here. The Houston Astros today on May the 13th I believe it's six and I want to say six
01:18 and a half games back at a first place. That's not a time to make up over a summer here so maybe they
01:23 can get on a chart. Just a little caption from yesterday. I had Carpenter to get an RBI Ben.
01:28 These are the ones you always hate. Let me explain this. Now they were way out of this baseball game
01:32 but what you love is you don't have those closers in late in the game. So okay let me see if I can
01:36 get one. Bidu pinch hits right before Carpenter comes up Ben with one out. He gets a triple. The
01:42 runner does score like awesome man. Carpenter must have done that with a single. No he didn't.
01:46 He gets the single after a balk let Bidu score from third base. Those are tough scenes man. Bad
01:52 beats that you get late in those games but the Astros nine runs here. They'll take that easy
01:56 victory and also Verlander gets the win clean too Ben. Seven innings. There's nowhere to run
02:01 and you gotta love that.
