Great turn!

This lead just doesn't feel real safe with Ruiz out there.

Ruiz threw that right down the middle. Can't be doing that on 1-2 to Castellanos.

Suarez is actually on a hot streak in September. They had been hitting really well coming into today.

Hopefully Ruiz has his good fastball today, cause he looked terrible against Cleveland.

Sucks for them cause they got cold at the wrong time against some cupcake teams. Then the Cardinals couldn't lose. Even if they won some of those games, I doubt they'd catch up to St. Louis.

Clearly safe.

Attaboy Gavin!

TLR must have the largest hard on for Leury at this point. He plays multiple positions and managers love that. He also bunts well and TLR absolutely loves that.

Guessing no Liam today. Bummer for the 8th and Kimbrel for saves.

Freidl has played the worst CF I've seen all year.

I wonder if Hendriks will be available since he's pitched in the last 2 days.

That was one lucky ass inning by Lopez. Gotta go to the bullpen.

Lopez getting real lucky this inning. 2 3-1 counts and one of them was an absolute rocket right at Yoan.

A hot Judge and Stanton makes the Yankees so freaking scary.

I can't believe they lost to Baltimore with Sale on the mound. It would be something if the Orioles screwed them like they did in 2011.

Please Luis, don't try that hard in a run down. Especially not now.

Houston just scored off Wacha. Looks like I jinxed it.

Jose needs a day off.

This is easily his best outing since the 5 perfect innings against the Cubs. The Reds have a .195 xBA, so it's not like they're lining everything at people. I agree though, Lopez should be a backup plan next year. Not a 5th starter.

Great takes by Luis.

I'd send him back out for the 6th with a very tight leash. If he's not maintaining his stuff, you pull him. The Reds hit a couple of balls real hard that last inning.

Wow umps really tried to fuck us again there. That's clearly a strike without the check swing.

Unfortunately that's not reviewable because it's before the ball gets to the bag. You'd also think the umpire would scream foul ball and there wouldn't have even been a play at 1B.

Michael Wacha is no hitting the Astros through 5 BTW.
