00:00The Houston Astros looking to avoid a sweep at home this
00:06midweek set against the Pittsburgh Pirates were
00:09booked as a heavy favorite to do exactly that. Minus 220 from
00:13Rivaldez on the bump. He does record the victory his tenth of
00:17this year. Ten and five with a three five six ERA but allowed
00:21four earned runs but stayed resilient, stayed in the game,
00:26worked through the sixth inning, and did strike out ten
00:29as Mauricio Dubon in the sixth inning. The Astros down by a
00:33run. He hits a two-run shot. The game winning runs. Houston
00:37avoids the sweep with a five four victory. Yeah, handicap in
00:41this game yesterday. I'm like, hey, Valdez, the much better
00:43pitcher on the mound and look at this. The Pittsburgh Pirates
00:45can't hit left-handed pitching all that well. Look like an
00:47idiot after two innings. Should I say the top of the second
00:50inning? Four to nothing for Pittsburgh. That's a good
00:52comeback by the Houston Astros. A little bit shaky there because
00:55probably a lot of people had the Astros in parlay pieces
00:58yesterday. Come on. Four to nothing. Nice comeback. Five
01:01unanswered. Pick up the W and still staying in that race out
01:04there in the AOS. Maybe the Astros are the team to beat out
01:07there.
