Game 264 - Houston Astros at Los Angeles Angels

September 13 at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, CA
ROOT Sports

This looked like an Angels' win up until the top of the 9th when Houston rallied for five runs against Huston Street and won 5-3.

The Los Angeles closer got the first two outs without much of a problem (infield pop out, strike out), then was 1-2 and 0-2 on the next two hitters. They both reached - Preston Tucker solo home run & George Springer triple - then Jose Altuve singled in a run to make it 3-2.

Carlos Correa hit a shot to second base and Taylor Featherston made a nice stop, but the ball got stuck in his glove (probably doesn't get the speedy Correa anyway). Jed Lowrie followed with a 3-run home run down the right field line that just got out (Kole Calhoun nearly made the catch) and incredibly the Astros had a 5-3 lead.

I'm not going to say I like watching the Angels blow a three-run lead in the ninth at home because I REALLY, REALLY like watching the Angels blow a three-run lead in the ninth at home.

All that was missing were dozens of shots of Mike Scioscia on the Los Angeles bench making his expired milk face.

Mute Mix

I saw Alan Ashby was handling the play-by-play, and I've already had plenty of Ashby for one baseball season, so it turned into a Mute Mix Sunday afternoon/evening.
