Yainer takes a borderline strike 2 call before he strikes out looking for the 2nd out. Here comes Jeremy Peña to pinch-hit for Trammell with 1 out & the game very much on the line. #Astros

PEÑA DRIVES A BASE HIT TO RF TO LOAD THE BASES WITH 1 OUT! LET’S GO!! #Astros

AGH!! Smith hits a tapper to 3rd & the pitcher somehow makes an incredible throw to home in time to get Walker - but we challenge the call. Outcome: call confirmed, 2 out but bases remain loaded. #Astros

AGH!! Dubón makes lofted contact to shallow right CF but the Marlins pull off another clutch catch to strand the bases loaded as a massive chance to narrow the deficit, or more, passes us by in the 8th. Back over to our bullpen… #Astros

Kaleb Ort is in to pitch the bottom of the 8th. This could be a tricky inning. #Astros

Ort gives up a hit to Ramírez to left to lead off the inning. #Astros

Ort rebounds to get Hicks to fly out to Dubón in CF for the 1st out. #Astros

Ort then gets Lopez to pop up to Altuve at 2nd for the 2nd out. #Astros

Ort wraps up a nice bottom of the 8th on a sharp grounder from Marsee to Walker at 1st. RIGHT. 2 runs needed in the 9th… LET’S GO!! #Astros

The Marlins bring in Lake Bachar to pitch the top of the 9th to try & close this out vs the top of our lineup. Base runners needed immediately. #Astros

Correa can only ground out to 2nd for the 1st out this time though. #Astros

Sánchez can only do exactly the same on a grounder to 2nd for the 2nd out & we’re down to our final chance in this one. #Astros

Altuve keeps the game alive with a base hit to right CF! LET’S GO!! #Astros

Game over. Walker strikes out swinging to end the 9th & confirm the defeat. 4-6. #Astros

We could be just 1.5 games up in the division by the next time we play. Time to buckle up, long way to go. #Astros

An immensely frustrating loss as we miss out on the sweep in Miami. Spencer Arrighetti had a predictably rocky outing back from injury but with bright spots. Our bats showed fight, but ultimately chances missed in 7th & 8th scuppered us, not helped by misfortune & inconsistent

Not acquiring any pitching at the trade deadline will magnify every start Spencer Arrighetti, Cristian Javier, J.P. France or Luis Garcia makes. Arrighetti returned on Wednesday and had some "growing pains" - nytimes.com/athletic/65395…

Which managers have performed best this season, all circumstances considered? Astros skipper Joe Espada takes the top spot on Greg's List. #MLBTonight

Jacob Melton 🤝 Brice Matthews -- the Houston Astros' top 2 prospects go back-to-back at Triple-A! Melton ups his Sugar Land Space Cowboys OPS to .931, while Matthews has an XBH + RBI in each of his first 3 games back at the Minors' highest level.
