Framber's getting no help from the umpires on these close calls. Still, he just plugs away. Maybe he breaks camp with the team in 2019.

Rookie not getting the benefit of the doubt.

July 13, 1962 - The Colt .45's grounded into 5 double plays vs. Pittsburgh.

That is the mark the team is trying to match or beat tonight.

The Astros lost that game, 4-0. LP: Turk Farrell. WP: Bob Friend 

Roman Mejias and Billy Goodman both had two-hit games but everybody seemed to get erased on a double play.

Gurriel one off the major league lead in grounding into double plays with 20 on the year.

Gotta learn to duck if you face Framber.

[astrosdoug]

Framber was trying to imitate McCullers' strategy from Game 7 with all the HBP's.

[m240]

outside of the three hit batsman Valdez represented himself well tonight.  

[paastrosfan]

Way to tap dance Smitty.

[m240]

book closed on Valdez, no earned runs allowed.  way to go rook

[paastrosfan]

What cross fire by Smitty.

He faced some very good hitters too. 

It's maddening when guys make their big league debut against the Astros and are unhittable. Today Framber helped the team even the score. 

[paastrosfan]

Gordon, look what I found.

[paastrosfan]

CC having a great night all around!!!

[astrosdoug]

Tied the record from 1962!

We are witnessing history.

[m240]

well we have one more chance to set the record.  

[astrosdoug]

Hmm, Osuna in the 8th. Right after Hinch named him the closer.

Maybe Hinch is thinking of a 6-out save.

[m240]

if Osuna is the new closer what is he doing starting off the 8th.  

[koolade2]

Meanwhile, Oakland killing Texas. At least Texas could have put up some kind of fight.

[astrosdoug]

See that there is proof that Kalas is reading the Refugees during games.

[koolade2]

Man I hate these West Coast Games. I will not make it to the end

Fake News. LOL

[paastrosfan]

Bregs trying the OH-Lay.

[koolade2]

SO much for the New Closer

[paastrosfan]

The Stros get the ground ball, but it finds a hole.

[Deleted]

Bye, bye Osuna.

Since he came here, even Rondon has been bad

[paastrosfan]

Bury another one Osuna.

[paastrosfan]

Nice pitch.

3-8 since Osuna was reinstated.  Is it the baseball gods that hate him?

O

Osuna changed the eye level on Gordon, nice pitch to get out of the inning. Back to Back K's

[paastrosfan]

Need another pick up Yuli.

[koolade2]

That was a pathetic at bat from Gurriel
