Tuesday, June 29: Travis Lakins celebrates his birthday with a start in Houston

[SteveA]

If Franco had gotten out I would have suggested hitting Trey for Wynns.  But now I say keep Wynns in for his defense

Where did this Orioles team come from the last two nights?!? This has to be driving Astros fans nuts as they were probably expecting back to back blowouts.

Skeptics wd say it was because he spent much of his AAA time in the PCL. We shall see.

I'm one of the skeptics.

Maikel Franco with the bases clearing double!  

Do you believe in miracles?  Yes!

And I think they've learned the lesson not to have Wynns bunt.

Good for Franco, but if he was running out of the box he would of had a triple.  

Franco has four career triples and never more than one in a season. He's probably a little unsure of how to do one. I wd also bet that his sprint speed really drops off after second base.

Franco was probably shocked that he hit the ball that well.

Although tonight is reminiscent of yesterday's game, I hope it ends more smoothly. Considering who the Astros are when it comes to cheating, I suspect their bullpen is still trying to figure out how to pitch without doctoring the ball or their grip.

You better pray Astros P. Cuz you're gonna get ROCKED too! [female dog]!

[Moose Milligan]

Mullins with the sprint for the single!  Homer, double, single.

[SteveA]

Last chance for Ryan to extend his 5 game walking streak.

I can't deal; with my blood pressure spiking two nights in a row. 

[Moose Milligan]

Another hit, another RBI.  Keep it going!

I mean, with that blazing speed…

Lol, ground ball to SS, and there's nobody playing there.  

Man, I love Mullins... setting up Hays... and Hays coming through.
