There is Hayden Wisneski making the start today. The 28-year-old local guy. He grew up in Cyprus after being born in Houston, went to Sciair High School and on to Sam Houston State. Identical lineups as yesterday for both of these sides and that means Vladimir Guerrero Junior’s batting second playing first and it’s ball four >> and takes the trot down to first. It’s a one out walk for Guerrero.
>> There’s Kazuma Okamoto right-handed hitting third baseman batting 231. 306 on base percentage. Tied for six in the American League with 24 homers. Tied for fourth with 69 runs batted in. >> Got him.
Okamoto down on strikes. First strike out of the night for Hayden Wiseski. >> So that previous pitch fast up and in. Got the check swing and then we’re right back to that cutter away >> at home. This ball sent to center.
George’s former teammate Dalton Baro makes the play. >> 18th start of the season for Yavage. Last time out at Washington. It was a good one. Six and two/3.
one run allowed working around three hits, three walks and four strikeouts through 97 pitches. >> Pñena hitting 320, 375 on base percentage, 13 homers, 37 RBI’s in 66 games. Comes in with a 15game hit streak. >> There you go. Patience shown on the pitch up and there is a leadoff walk in front of Yordon Alvarez.
American League triple crown leader leads the majors with his 330 average and with his 35 homers. He hits this one on the ground right side. Clements on it. Yusavage is there to cover and they get the out. That’s good from Savage because Guerrero went after it with a dive.
And if Trey isn’t getting over there, no one is. Anytime the ball is hit to the right side of the infielder as a catcher, you’re yelling, >> “Get over, get over.” And you’re reminding that pitcher to get over. And you’re going to see the second it leaves the bat, Y Savage is getting over. You know Alvarez isn’t going to be burning it down the line.
Good internal clock by Clement and Y Savage to secure that out. Varo in his Astros debut last night with a single and a walk >> is hit out to center field fairly deep but within range for Straw who’s got it to end the first inning. Lead off walk by but you Savage pitches around and we’re scoreless. >> Jesus Sanchez left-handed hitting left fielder for the Blue Jays of course an Astros deadline deal acquisition last year. >> Oh off his glove and played there by Paris with the bare hand.
That’s going to be a 153 and Wesneski saying I’m absolutely fine. It hit me in the glove as he’s telling everybody to stay in the dugout. It’s >> a quality deflection right to Esoch who’s right behind him. Gets the glove on it. Little tip drill.
Each took a little bit of a split second to realize where that ball was and made a nice play on it. I’ll tell you tomorrow. No, tell me next inning. Okay. Good play by Pñena deep in the hole as he makes a strong throw to Christian Walker.
A six pitch second inning for Hayden Wneski. >> No score. Top of the third inning at Dyen Park. Hayden Wesneski back out there. >> Straw hits this one well deep left center.
Tremal is going back and it’s over his head off the wall. Straw is going to get into second with ease. It’s a standup double and at the ballpark that he debuted in the one with the team that drafted him. He just continues to produce this ball into shallow center. Baro on the move and he’s going to make a sliding catch.
Blue Jays has seen that a lot for them and now it goes against them there as Lucas has one taken away by Bartow for the second half. >> Here’s Guerrero right-handed batter. He walked his last time up hitting 176 against the Astros this year. That’s a broken bat slowly hit towards Pena. He’ll charge and he throws out Guerrero Jr.
to end the inning. Trey is Savage right now being checked on by the trainers. Von Chong and John Schneider out there. Something in his lower body apparent here as the Blue Jays were getting set for the third inning and obviously concern right now. We’ll see if you Savage is going to start warming up.
We welcome you back to Dykin Park where it’s an interesting start to the warm-ups here for the bottom of the third. Might have been something in the left knee or left leg. It’s towards the end of his warm-up pitches and you can see kind of Kirk coming out. His knee just buckles and sometimes your cleat can get caught. It can kind of create a little bit of a twist or Yeah, he felt something there.
Kirk’s eyeing him down. Oh, and he feels it again. And and that’s when you got to come out and try and figure out what’s going on. He’s not normal. He’s not He’s coming out.
>> And that is a huge shame. Of course, Trey Savage in warm-ups tweaking something. Chad Dallas is getting loose right now for the Blue Jays in the bullpen and he’s going to have to come into this game and take over this start. >> Couple of games this season for the rookie Chad Dallas. He’s going four and 2/3.
Has a 193 erra. He’s out of Orange, Texas. >> This a line drive. Nice backhanded pick by Ernie Clement and there’s one out. >> That was blistered.
>> It was great hand shown by Clement on that back hand. Cam Smith draws the walk. He reaches with one away. That’ll bring up Pñena >> and he strikes out Pñena swinging with the breaking ball. There’s two down.
>> Well, he went cutter, sweeper, sweeper back to the sweeper. Really nice action. Really good two- strike pitch. >> And that’s going to be ball four. Yordon draws his 80th walk of the season.
Second walk of the inning issued by Dallas and two on for Esus. >> Swing and miss. Strike three. Chad Dallas with a couple of punch outs in a scoreless bottom of the third. >> Top of the fourth inning at Dyken Park.
No score with the Blue Jays and Astros and Kazuma Okamoto will start things their third baseman. Here’s the pitch. Breaking ball got him. Strike three. Little cutter out there.
Okamoto tipped it foul into the catcher’s glove. He goes down on strikes. Swing and a miss. Springer down on strikes with Neski with backto-back Kes and two away in the fourth. Sends this one into left.
Playable for Taylor Tra. He’ll come in a step or two and put it away for the final out of the inning. >> Seven game hitting streak for Christian. He’s 0 for one. Popped up to second base his last time up.
>> Two two pitch. Foul tip. Strike three. Chad Dallas has three Ks. >> Here’s Altuve.
Flew out to center field his last time up. Little tapper. That’s going to be trouble. Okamoto’s throw. Not in time.
Altuve still has the wheels to beat out those infield hits. >> Breaking ball low. Ball four. He was taken. And that’ll put runners on first and second for Yiner Diaz who’s been swinging a hot bat.
And Yiner delivers a base hit to left. Alum being waved around. Sanchez throw will be not in time. Astros lead one- nothing. Yanner Diaz the RBI single.
Good job by Yanner. Great job by Aluve with a beautiful slide to avoid the tag at home. >> So the Astros score first. Smith walked his last time up and all of a sudden Robert, it looks like this lineup’s getting deeper and deeper. Cam delivers a base hit.
Around third is Treal. Del Tess Sanchez again. This throw is way over Kirk’s head. RBI single by Cam Smith. It’s two nothing.
The Astros score. Everybody advances another base. Cam picking up Tram. Two outs. You’re off with the swing.
It’s nice cuz you can just anticipate going. But a great job on a curveball down by Pam. Able to get out there and get those arms extended. >> Astros with a two nothing lead over the Blue Jays. Top of the fifth inning.
Hayden Weski back to work. Andre Jimenez shoots the left side away from the shift and he’s got a two strike base hit. One out for Miles Straw. He doubled to left center hitting it off the pillar. Runner off on the pitch and Straw smokes one out to left center field.
FARO TURNING BACK. THAT BALL’S UP AGAINST the wall coming around third base. Jimenez is going to score. AND STRAW HAS GOT A TRIPLE. The spark of the offense right now for the Blue Jays.
Miles Straw has cut the deficit in half and put himself 90 ft away from tying the game. THIS ONE BOUNCES AWAY AND MILES STRAW IS GOING TO COME in to score. Miles Straw hustling around the bases getting to third base. There’s so many things that can happen once you get to third base with less than two outs. The the infield is in.
Obviously, the sacrifice fly is in play and of course the wild pitch there. Miles Straw coming home really easily. >> Astros and Blue Jays tied at two now. Now, Yordon Alvarez will lead off here against Chad Dallas. Hey, how about Yordon?
02 pitch. A breaking ball. Probably where Chad Dallas wanted it. And Yordon’s too good. It’s a nice casual pitching wedge.
Just leaves a divot after he goes down and gets this one. >> This one’s down for a ball. Good at bat there by Baro drawing a walk. Well, the Astros were able to get a couple of two out RBI hits last inning. Looking for another one here with Jos Alt standing in.
And a line drive off the glove of Okamoto in to score. You’re not Alvarez. The Astros regain the lead. It’s now 3 to2. I think the swing kind of fooled Okamoto a little bit.
You can see right there just didn’t quite get to the baseball because he thought it was hit harder than it was. Off the bat. It was only 79.8 mph. >> With Walker at second, Altuv at first for Taylor Trmell who’s walked and scored.
He’s also >> Let’s take a look at this cuz this was one of the more amusing moments last night in a 3-1 game. Taylor Chal crushes it pitch. >> That ball was touched and it wouldn’t have gotten out. He just kind of just said, you see the look in his eyes, he was just like, “What in the world just happened?” So he just kind of emulated the entire run around the bases and he’s just like, “What just happened?
” He couldn’t believe it. That’s one sky deep to right field. A threepointer, Taylor Jamal. Home run number six. And the Astros now lead six-2.
There we go. Now we can all hop on the tram and go for a ride. That has got to feel good. Leaving no doubt about this one. Pulling this into the right field seats.
He made sure of this one. TK 113.3 off the bat. Woo. That’s coming in hot.
And you fly out 419 ft and don’t get rewarded. You just got to go down and have somebody tell you keep doing what you’re doing. Astros with a six-2 lead. It’s low. Ball four.
So walks him on four pitches and that’s how we start the seventh inning. >> Here’s Christian Walker. >> Hard hit liner fair left field line rolling into the corner. Davis Shider’s going to dig it out. Var getting the wave around third.
Andre Jimenez’s throw in time to get him. Kirk places the tag as they get Dalton Vo at home on the relay from Andre Jimenez. One out here in the bottom of the seventh. >> So there’s one away now. runner on third base.
Infield in with Altuve at the plate. There’s a ball up the middle. Third consecutive hit for Altuve and the Astros lead 7-2. Came in as a defensive replacement for José Altuve and he’s unable to make the play. Could have been a double play ball to end the game and instead Toronto has runners on the corners with just one away.
>> Ground ball right side to his right Allen. He has it to second for one. Painted to first. That’s two. And that is the ball game.
