a replay review turn H what looked like a potential home run into a double but here Ben gaml in front of the home faithful puts one out to left field using the Crawford box to his Advantage welcome to your new home Ben this time the fan waited for the ball to leave the ballpark before he reached over didn't have to reach over this time that made it into the seats this one to center field and Garrett hampson will make this play one out in the third he saw so many tough pitches yesterday but he's a guy that really has done a good job of driving the ball the other way for hits this time he gets one that he can Elevate and he shoots it out the other way over the Manuel scoreboard into those Crawford boxes nice well played man he does that tomorrow'll be right in front of us it's the right side that'll scoot into right field for a base hit for Macio dubon that's right you and TK one two out two of eight play it first base no way for your yordon Alvarez yordon hits this one in the air to center field playable for [Applause] hampson and dubon into third base so Runners on the corners now with two away Ben gaml leaded one nothing this one right at Bobby Whit that'll retire the side hit it hard a line drive but look more like weight classes than actual batting averages that's pretty healthy sample full size easy play for [Applause] Hayward one ball two strikes swing in a Miss got him again fifth strike out for fber pastino reaching in and breaking that thumb you're removing a 97 RBI guy out of that lineup and that was a complete Jam sandwich yes it was out of retire the side another guy that brings that veteran presence there's swinging a miss so four pitch strikeout victor caratini goes down swinging League doing all of his damage throughout his career in the National League so playing against a lot of these guys get going that what hammered to left Center that'll be off the wall Jeremy paa into second base with a one out double Jeremy Peña just did miss that one 3-2 pitch swing and a miss got him two away go down to juliia I saw it with my own eyes yesterday the way he interacted with everyone getting to know the guys and all the little details definitely Count Strike three called on Ben gaml that'll retire the side in the second half under two and a half this one on the ground couple hops Jeremy Peña and he'll throw D young out one out in the [Applause] fifth tough play for Peña jump throw got him [Music] play WoW ranging to his right the jump throw and enough on it to get it over there and then he got a Little Help from Victor kartini that is an excellent play considering the circumstances to keep a hit and a runner off the board great play on both ends dubon tough play having to charge got [Applause] him 51st pitch of the night for Seth Lugo top of the Zone maybe that's a call strike three to Jake Meers that shoots this one to the right side this time Sal Perez with a 3-1 put out as Lugo covers and there's two away only four home Home Series remaining after this one swing and a miss Lugo gets his man his seventh strikeout of the [Applause] game a four pitch walk to lead off here in the sixth inning as the play Waiting potentially for him that one hit on a line right at pay you throw to first base and Blanco is back in his major league debut on Sunday there goes Blanco throw down and ball skips into center field but Blanco didn't see it and he'll stay at second base as it's backed up by Jake Meyers Seth Lugo one of those guys here's two two way up in the air on the infield Jeremy Peña is there on the ground Peña there and that'll retire the side topped over the left side on be able to just walk the first [Applause] base goes yordon again this one a base hit Jordon will hold up at second base runners at first and second with nobody out in the sixth res at second Diaz at first swing and a miss struck him out good curve ball there's one away fromer Valdez getting after it 3-1 to right center and going back playable at the track and yordon will tag up he'll go to third base jer's got to get back to first but hamson had to go a long way to get to that one bats here with Runners at the corners and Hayward High on the infield see if this one will stay in play it will and that will fire the side so the Astros strand a pair but that spin just takes it quickly out of the Zone on the ground duban that's the Speedy Bobby Whit Jr and there's one away as far as that spin rate to have those good curve balls that one clip Salvador did hit by pitch third base runner of the game pulled the string on that one it just pulled back on the velocity dangled it out there young can't lay off two2 Pitch bounced in and sou Perez will get into second base get into scoring position did he he did not two two pitch strike three call what what a performance by fber Valdez well he has been very very good in this game overshadowed by fber Valdez and what he's doing a 3-1 put out there one away in the seven a five- pitch walk to Jake Meyers jabon goes is down swinging two away in the seven to center field coming in and hampson will make the catch and that'll retire the side we go to the eighth inning this one in the air to center field playable for Jake Meyers one out in the eighth to win the opener of this four game series 6 to3 this one on the ground and there's a base hit first first hit of the ball game is the Astros combining in this one to go seven and 23s no hit Innings before allowing that first hit there goes a runner and this one hit in the air haywards got it makes the catch we go to the bottom of the eighth inning as the Astros one of the better opportunities the Astros have had offensively this one hammered to right field but in his steps at a couple of steps back ball was hit on a line right at the right fielder strikeouts for farra Valdez Yer on the ground up the middle and that'll get into center field for a base hit backto back singles for Yer Diaz as the Astros have a one out base rer in the eigh this one hammered into the corner in right field that is down for a base hit and extra bases as kartini heads for second he's in with a one out double it second and third here in the eighth looking to add to that one-run lead this one to center field Yer will tag up and here comes the throw and it'll throw it into third base man I thought they'd have a shot at him at the plate but not even bothering with the throw towards home Yer scores to make it two nothing on the sacrifice fly by Jeremy Peña great job by Jeremy strike three call the perfect pitcher pitch we go to the ninth inning the Astros leading at two nothing on the ground at Peña comes up on him throws and into the bounced it in and it off The netting there in front of the Dugout so onew pitch swing and a miss one away in the ninth good bounce back to Josh haer this one hit well and hit to left field and it is gone a tie ball game Paul D young a two-run home run with one out in the ninth inning and we got a brand new game here in Houston the Young's got some pop and he's been swinging about well for these Kansas City Royals this is a slider that just came right back over the middle part of the plate and D young put a charge into it just getting it into the Crawford boxes oh for the second straight night the error comes back to haunt the [Applause] Astros there's two outs [Applause] in the air on the infield kartini wants it and he's got it 02 pitch on the ground Garcia has it there's one away in the ninth there's a base hit into right field so dubon will be called back John Singleton will hit Singleton hits this one playable to center field and there's two [Applause] away Jose to left going back on it at the wall and that ball is Off the Wall coming around third and that's a game winner an RBI double by Altuve and the Astros walk it off that'll mayy two how many times have we seen it you had speed on first base you had a guy at home play who has like ash said a flare for the dramatic and he finally got a pitch he could handle I'm actually pretty surprised that MacArthur left the slider on the plate for out two BAS to be able to go out there and hook and hits it and able to get it off that manual scoreboard and as soon as it hit off that scoreboard Mendes had no shot with it rattling around but there you see it that slider on that outer third Altuve able to get around it he knew he got enough of it just a matter of Jake Myers was going to be able to come around and score and Myers was flying well he's off with the swing of the bat with two outs just put your head down and go and as soon as Mendez couldn't Coral it d over sixth walk-off of the season for the Astros and they have now won three in a row say says take it easy take it easy another another day at the office a twists and turns of this ball game the Astros flirting with a no hitter fber Valdez absolutely amazing in this one and then Jose altu with the walkoff hit to send the Astros to Victory let's go down to Julia
