He also got an out when Gomez tried to bunt and the ball hit the ground in front of him, bounced up and hit him so he literally got himself out.Not sure why a putout is awarded to the catcher because of batters’ interference when the ball bounces up and hits the batter, but baseball has lots of, um, interesting rules.Bud cruised through 7 innings on 93 pitches.He singled to lead off the bottom of the 7th and stood around on first while futilely replica Longines L5.155.0.71.6 Ladie's watch waiting for Bourn (who left 3 on), Kepp, Pence (who ROE when the third baseman bobbled a grounder – although I see that the home scorer generously changed it to a hit – yeah, and Clank who, for the 3rd time tonight, grounded out on the first pitch.The Astros had managed to get themselves out on 6 pitches in the 5th (and that is 4 batters) and on 5 pitches in the 6th (no I am not kidding) spending a total time of like 2.5 minutes at the plate, and they dragged it out with Bud standing on first.
So I was kind of surprised and a little worried to see him heading back out to start the 8th.And sure enough, pinch hitter Counsell led off with a 5 pitch walk and went to second on a groundout.Escobar singled to shallow center and with 2 on 1 out and the Astros ahead only by 2, having left 1 on in the second, 1 on in the 3rd, 2 on in the replica Longines L2.194.9.73.3 watch 4th (Bourn woulda gotten himself another RBI, but da Prince made a great leaping catch to his right and nope), 1 on in the 5th and 2 on in the 7th – well, I was more than a little worried with Braun striding to the plate.And I knew that Lindstrom sure nuff wasn’t available, Lopez is being rested, Melancon got kicked last night, and so I held my breath as Fulchino strode in.
But he struck out Braun swinging at a FB on the outside corner and then Byrdak came in to get Prince on 3 pitches.Prince didn’t look like his usual self – missed the game yesterday because he was out with the flu – got dehydrated and had to go to the hospital and get IV.I was kind of hoping the Stros would pad the score a little and CJ led off with a double down the LF line.After JMike flew out, Sanchez singled him to third, but Quintero replica Longines L2.673.4.78.5 Men's watch (he had a BAD day with the bat – would have also GIDP in the 5th, but the second baseman dropped the ball on the relay, but unfortunately, no runs there neither.)So Lyon came on for the save and promptly gave up a solo homer to Casey McGehee just barely over the fence, just to the right of the RF bullpen (373′ sign).But the next 2 hitters grounded out and Lucroy flew out to Pence.
