Dallas Keuchel (13-5) allowed two hits and two runs with eight strikeouts in six innings to extend Houston’s lead in the AL West to three games. Against the Angels on Tuesday, the right-hander gave up seven hits with four walks and let in five runs in five innings but was bailed out by his offense in a 10-5 win.
“I thought we hit a couple (grand slams previously), to be quite honest”, said Conger, who finished 3-for-4 with five RBIs.
“He just didn’t have his control and where he wanted to throw the ball”, Hale said. Keuchel allowed two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out eight. We’ll have to get to the bottom of it and crank it back up for Washington. “Those are hard things to do”.
Pat Neshek threw a ideal eighth, and Luke Gregerson pitched the ninth for his 22nd save. Houston 2B Jose Altuve on Thursday went 0-for-3 to end his 18-game home hitting streak – a Minute Maid Park record.3. He was able to spend some time with Correa during the time leading up to his major league debut, and he is boasting with pride for the budding superstar for the Houston Astros.
The Astros were up by 1 with one out and the bases loaded in the fourth inning when Conger connected off Hellickson to push the lead to 7-2.
Lamb, Welington Castillo and Nick Ahmed had two hits apiece for Arizona.
“It’s not a secret we’ve got a great team”, Correa said. They’ve got a lot of power, that’s how they’ve made a name for themselves this year. “We have to tighten it up and play a lot better”.
McHugh, who was tagged for six runs over five innings in his only start against Arizona (50-52) in 2013, has a 7.00 ERA in losing all three career starts against NL teams in Houston. “You’re not going to have your best stuff every day”. What if I told you that Sola is one of the talent scouts for the Houston Astros in Puerto Rico, would that give you a better clue? “Eventually, it’s going to catch up to you”. Acquired via trade from the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday, Fiers will be activated on Sunday….
NOTES: Diamondbacks RF Yasmany Tomas was back in the lineup Sunday after being pulled in the sixth inning on Saturday night for failing to run out a ground ball.
