MY lineup would be: Kemp----------------LF Reddick-------------RF Bregman-------------SS Gurriel-------------3B Marwin--------------2B out of necessity White---------------1B Maldonado-----------C Marisnick-----------CF Morton--------------P OOPS! 😆😆😆  That home run was a necessity. He has shown some signs on this road trip of coming around with the bat. |

Marwin has 3 homers hitting right handed and they’re all on this road trip. well he did talk in spring training about wanting to improve his game as a RHH guess it worked out |

First appearance as an Astro and Osuna pitches a perfect 8th and is the winning pitcher. It is a shame that Charlie pitched that well and doesn't get the win. No offense at all until Marwin's big home run to win the game. It looked as if we would be shut out and had to face Bumgarner tomorrow. Now, we are guaranteed a winning trip.

Smith had pitched 35 1/3 innings this season for SF, coming into tonight. Zero homers allowed.....till Marwin bombed one with 2 outs in the 9th.
Wow!

Meanwhile, Class A Clearwater fails to get a hit the entire game and yet wins, 1-0, over Tampa. Thanks to the silly "start extra innings with a free runner on second base" rule.
Because the game was played as part of a double header, the eighth inning was rule to be the start of extras.
Coming to MLB parks soon? I hope not.

That game was stealing one out of the lost column. Nice to see Marwin getting hot at the right time with a depleted roster. |

Not in the new Yankee Stadium, the monuments were removed from the field of play. Okay, slow and with Brett Gardner cramping his hamstring. I would have liked to see Kemp's shot down the RF line being hit in triples alley, he would have cleared all bases. |

Sometimes, you’ve got to tip that cap. that was a very good pitch that Crawford hit, just barely caught the strike zone and it was in an area of the plate that he has not had much success getting solid contact this year so far. |

Gonzales came through like I wanted he just waited til the ninth instead of doing something in the seventh.

astros.com is saying Stassi will start today's game but i haven't seen the rest of the lineup yet.
Gattis has hit Bumgarner well so it's a shame that he can't easily be worked into the starting lineup.
This will be a tough game, most likely, so it's fabulous that Marwin at least guaranteed a split yesterday.

Also, that is a cavernous outfield. |

Sometimes, you’ve got to tip that cap. I watched the replay of the game and sometimes you don't get the real affect,but any ball hit out of that park is a legit homerun. |

I've made it a habit lately of missing Marwin's homers. I need to keep skipping his at-bats so he stays on a hot streak Marwin is having a great start to August, 4 Hrs in 5 games...This lazy MOFO is carrying the team offensively in August. |
