Nice sunny day outside in Houston, Texas, but we are under the roof here inside park Diamondbacks and the Astros on the season in 28 starts for you Kuchi, a 4.24 a, he has 177 strikeouts in 152 3rd innings pitched of the better pitchers and strikeouts per nine. And that is popped up on the infield coming in both Bregman and Pena Bregman, the call and makes the catch to the left of the pitcher's mound and there is one away, Darrell waiting for a 12 here it is swinging. He's still over in this series today. And the first strike after pitching, this is where you need. You mentioned it those 345 hitters to come through 12. There's a base hit right back up the middle and a good two strike stroke by to get the D backs first hit of the ballgame. Here is walker now for Arizona it is two strikeouts for Capucci in the first off to a good start. Here's your d back starter today. Left hander Eduardo Rodriguez coming off his first loss as a Diamondback 92 pitches to get through four beaten by the Dodgers on Monday. I think he's very anxious to get back on the mound and really deliberate performance better against Jose Altuve who was on base all night long last night and leads it off again for the Astros. He went after that fastball up, got some good chase there and got the, we pop up has got it wanted to count on him and look at Jordan Alvarez, putting one in left field and he is getting extra bases as well. He's going to get in there for a double. We love talking about the home runs but the fact that he's able to get on top of his pitch and shoot it the other way shows how good that swing is to go out there and rack up hits. Here's Alex Bregman, good to have this bat back in there. We talked about the matchup here , three home runs in his career against the starting pitcher of the boxes out there Astros, a one out double, but that's all. And we head now to the second inning Diamondbacks as to told us this morning just need to find some footing against left hand pitching, right hand bats are thin and teams are lining up lefties to face the Diamondbacks and that has been the way to beat them. That one bounces into right Suarez full speed into third and a couple of base hits open up the diamond back second and there is a line drive to the opposite field off the bat of Newman mccarthy stops at second Suarez home and it's 1 to 0 diamond that is just a pitch. He just spanks this ball the other way, takes a fastball on the outside third. It was mid by high and shoots it that way. What a beautiful swing. This is three consecutive singles open up to second against Kikoi for the first seven Diamondbacks have base hits and they have a 1 to 0 lead. Astros unable to turn two. There's one out in the inning with runners at the corners. A one Herrera swings fly ball to deep right field. This is hit. Well, going back is gamble and he'll make the catch tagging from third and scoring is mccarthy and forget the lack of power that one driven to deep right center field and Herrera zack Fly makes it two nothing Diamondbacks. That's a huge result for the Diamondbacks only was that deep , but that's opposite field stuff right there from herrera. And now here's Marte with a man at first gets him. You say out of it two runs on the board though. For the Arizona Diamondbacks, we head to the bottom of the second. What's been happening with the late is to tell us today it's one inning or one set of batters that's causing him to get that elevated pitch count and this might be situation he's going to have to figure out how to navigate. Here's a ground ball, softly hit left side, charging and fielding it. Perdomo to second for one on the first. That's a double play that will get a run in for the Astros as Altuve scores. It's 2 to 1. Arizona. The Diamondbacks did a good job through the first three innings was up to 51 pitches. Now, so far, only four in this fourth inning, all of a sudden cucci has now retired eight in a row. And here is Newman. Newman's a banger and this one's on its way, kevin Newman way up there and it's gone. Kevin Newman two for two to get that run back and it's 3 to 1 diamond. We got some proper seats. I think that's kevin Newman member in ST Louis. He hit one into Big Mac Land. This one almost made the train tracks out there goes, oh, you can that pitch back. You say goodbye. I say hello. Thank you. 31 pitch and that is popped up shallow left side, going back. Pena and Bregman Pena stepping the foul ground makes the catch on the run to retire the side three consecutive. There's the subset of batters walk hit, batter, walk. They're loaded with one out and out to the mound bases juice for Chas mccormick who could use a big hit Chad mccormick's gonna drive a couple home. Victor Caratini scores, jake and the here in the fourth, Gambell goes to second on the play, Astros have had Rodriguez on the ropes all game long and finally get a big hit Rodriguez long look at second. Now the one and Alvarez smokes it in the right field for a base hit, racing around third gamble and coming home, the photo of the plate by Carroll is cut off. Scores. Yard gives the Astros the lead with his third hit of the game 4 to 3. Houston. This is the guy that couldn't hit at home. He put that to rest. He was very efficient through three and we're still going in the 4th 22 is fair at third. Now they're loaded for Bregman gets that pitch is high ball. Four mccormick scores. Bregman gets an RB I and the Astros have a 5 to 3 lead. What a disaster of an inning for Arizona Eugenio. Suarez leads off the sixth against left hander. You, the pitch swung on that's belted out to left field to the Crawford boxes. It goes home run, Geno Suarez number 25 and the D backs get one right back. It's now 5 to 4. That's his fifth home run in his last nine games. I'm telling you with Capucci throwing this high majority of sliders guys are just sitting on it right now and Suarez certainly was sitting on that slider and a couple of singles lead off the Houston six. One thing that guy Diaz does and he's already done it once he hit it to double plays. He leads the American League in ground to get a double play and that's a ground ball up the middle and through for a base hit on his way to third mccormick. He gets the way from Gary Pettis mccormick scores two to third. Diaz comes through with an RB I single to make it 6 to 4. Astros takes a deep breath. He's like, wow, it been a heck of a game, Bregman. He had a bases loaded walk his last time. Zero for two bouncing ball softly hit up the third base line. Jess Feick by Suarez and he throws it high and pulls walker off the bag. Altuve scores and the Astros lead it 7 to 4 to one to right. It keeps going and Jeremy pitch and the Astros have opened it up now against the Diamondbacks JP three a taco for a big blast. What a great pitch to do it on two. It was right down the middle and once more, just like last night , the Houston home run has blown the game wide open herrera who moved up on that one. He's at second and Martes aboard at first and it's a good start to the seventh while you're down six, you need some runners and so far so good kicks high off the mound and Altuve has got it but he has no play Herrera's across and walker gets a run home. It's 10 to 5. Boy that thing went off the ramp like Evel Knievel, it really did see that ball hit, hit the pitcher back of his heel and it went straight up in the air and the Diamondbacks figure a way to stay alive in the seventh. So two out, nobody on for Jose Altuve, two for four with a aa couple of runs scored. Jose Altuve get into the Crawford out with number 19 on the year. He just keeps getting hits. Jose is now one homer shy of his 1st 2020 season since 2017. Back to back strikeouts for Blanco and the Diamondbacks are down to their final out if you can get a guy like this. Blanco's bridge gaps and stuff like that. It's a big, big deal. Fans get to their feet, the two to walker swing and a miss struck him out on the slider away, strikes out the side slide in September continues and the Astros pick up the 11 to 5 victory over the Diamondbacks.
