Well Valdez won’t throw a no hitter tonight for the Astros, Baltimore up 2-0 in the bottom of the 1st

Yes in the other game of interest it is now
5-0. Hope Framber is hung out to dry and pen burned as well

5-2. Astros not laying down but wondering if Grayson Rodriguez is a playoff pitcher
Alot of talent but…

Either team losing is fine with me. I would love to get that top seed.

Now 6-2 4th inn

Owen White is pitching tonight. It would be great to see him toss about 6 or 7 shutout innings. He has 2 now, but that could change very quickly.

I think if we catch the Orioles, the division will be ours too. Hopefully.

From Evan Grant:

Less than two weeks after he suffered a torn tendon sheath in his left wrist, Heim took batting practice for the first time on Tuesday. Heim took about 15-20 swings off pitching from hitting instructor Tim Hyers without issue and also caught a bullpen session. Manager Bruce Bochy said Heim could face “live” pitching as early as Monday and potentially return to the Rangers lineup sometime during the six-game homestand next week.

“It’s a 10 out of 10,” Heim said Tuesday. “It was good to go today. Just getting over the mental aspect of being able to do it was huge.”

The tentative plan is for Heim, a switch-hitter, to swing only from the left-hand side from the time being. The left wrist is non-dominant when swinging from the left side. It is more heavily involved on right-handed swings.

So far so good tonight from Ryan Garcia.

So fat so good tonight from Ryan Garcia.

Good numbers

 

[DT LUNA]

Baltimore 6-3 in 8th

 

[saddles]

Ryan Garcia's night us done. He is gone after 6 no-hit innings.

 

[saddles]

Owen White only went 4 innings, but that was probably because he had to sit through an extremely long bottom of the 4th as the Express put 8 runs on the board.

He gave up 1 run on 3 hits and 3 walks while also striking out 3
