Mariners getting obliterated by Astros... Jose Altuve getting back to hitting, lets see him chase Chete Rose.

They are attempting a comeback though. Cruz hit his 31st HR of the season...let's go for #32!

This is a nice comeback so far but Im afraid the difference could be that they took Segura out too early when they thought it was a blowout. UT Romine had a chance for a few RBI but whiffed as usual so that could be costly. Cant really blame them for pulling starters down 8-0 though.

Bryce Harpers bunt game cannot be stopped, only contained.

Happy Jack Flaherty Day!

Acuna hit another leadoff HR...his 20th of the season in less than 290 at-bats

 

[death2redemptions]

Only 1 player with more leadoff home runs than Acuna....his name is Matt Carpenter.

Straight

Flaherty just struck out the side and Puig broke his bat over his knee.

I like it.

 

[death2redemptions]

His pitch count won't allow for it but Flaherty has tossed five #%-^!t innings - 5 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 9 K

 

[death2redemptions]

Jack Flaherty now down to a 2.91 ERA (3.32 xFIP), 1.05 WHIP with an 11.3 k/9 rate...143 strikeouts to 43 walks in 114.1 IP

Clay Buchholz seems to have found a home in AZ...he's been tearing it up for the D-Backs

He's given up 3 earned runs or less in 12 of his 13 starts. He's gone 5+ IP while giving up less than 2 runs in 11 of those starts. He's been spectacular in August (5 runs in 29 IP with 25 k & 4 walks). He's sporting a 2.25 ERA & 1.03 WHIP this year in one of the toughest pitcher's ballpark in the majors.

Are you $hitting me? The O's are 37-90!? 51.5 games back?? LOL ::facepalm::

 

[death2redemptions]

Well, a solo HR ruined Flaherty's night but still a tremendous stat line with double digit k's once again - 6 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 10 K (2.97 ERA)

 

[death2redemptions]

O'Neill ties it with a solo bomb!!!
