Our pitching was the star of the evening! From start to finish, our pitchers threw nothing but heat. Blubaugh, Scott, and Weiman were on point, delivering strikeouts and crucial outs exactly when we needed them. The Cardinals had multiple threats on base, but our defense held strong to keep them from scoring after the third inning.
Altuve and Alvarez Stick a Score
Despite some tough innings at bat, Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez combined forces in the bottom of the third to bring in the tying run. Altuve walked and then rushed home on Alvarez's clutch single to left field. That kept us in the game and showcased why our lineup is always a threat. Go 'Stros!
