Really nice 5-3 series win.  Alvarez HBP twice and walked twice.  Scared of him.

Altuve an Alvarez to start All Star Game.

1 1/2 games out

Man, we forgot to mention 5 DPs.

Holy crapola. Give up 7 runs in the bottom of the 9th including a Slam for Correa. Hey, but I’ll take the win.

Couldn't stay awake went to bed we were ahead 7-4.  I guess it turned into a slug fest.

13-12 16 hits.  Correa grand slam.  but a nice win

[rupert3]

No heroes today lost 9-3.

Altuve HBP yesterday out of lineup today.  Can't win them all

High Dollar Hader gives up walk off dinger in bottom 9th 3-2.  Crazy

That’s the way that game had to end.

Poorly played game by the Astros today.  Altuve commits an error in the fourth inning taking away a simple ground ball that Jeremy Pena was in position to scoop and throw to first base.  That error allowed a baserunner that eventually scored because Altuve made a second error in the inning (but it was changed from an E4 to a hit) with his poor throw to home plate after Alex Bregman gave him a perfect lead for a second to home double play.  Instead, Altuve throws a one hop curve ball to the catcher and the Twins tie the game 2-2.  Bats went cold.  Hader came in and gave up his eighth HR of the season.  Christian Vazquez hammered that fastball for a walk-off winner.  I haven't heard how long Yordan Alvarez may be out because of the HBP on his knee?  Kyle Tucker is supposed to return after the All-Star break.  Hopefully, he comes back and gives the Astros some momentum.  Go Astros!

P.S. If you are the GM, what move or moves do you make at the trade deadline?  Add someone at first base?  Another starter on the mound?  Depth in the bullpen?
