Tough Start But A Strong Attempt to Rally
Wow, Astros fans, what a rollercoaster of emotions that game turned out to be!
The matchup against the Cincinnati Reds started off rough for our Astros. The top of the 1st inning saw a landslide of runs from the Reds, largely due to a 3-run homer by Elly De La Cruz. Before we even got into the bottom of the 1st, we saw the Astros down by a staggering 10-0. It wasn't the brightest start, but we know our team has grit! A Fierce Comeback in the 3rd
After two tough innings, the 3rd inning was where we saw hope glimmer. The Astros rallied dramatically! Isaac Paredes hit a double to get us started, scoring Jeremy Peña. Then, Christian Walker delivered a thrilling triple, bringing in two more runs, followed by Yainer Diaz with an RBI groundout, and Victor Caratini knocking out a 2-run homer. By the end of the 3rd, the score was narrowed to 12-7. What a fight!
Heart and Hustle Through the End
Despite a valiant effort to chip away at the Reds' lead, the Astros just couldn't catch a break to completely close the gap. We saw some solid performances — Peña came in strong again in the 5th with an RBI single, and added another RBI double in the 9th. Victor Caratini had a fantastic game too, going 3 for 5 with a homer. Ultimately, though, the game ended 13-9 in favor of the Reds. It's never easy watching our team come up short, but there's no doubt the Astros showed immense heart in trying to rally back. Onward and upward, Astros!
️Keep the faith, Astros fans! We'll bounce back from this and come out stronger in the next game. Always #GoAstros!
