The Astros are tied for the League-lead in road wins (1) since the beginning of play on August 11. The White Sox beat the Angels in 13 innings, and David Robertson called Mike Scioscia "bush-league." You already likely know that Seattle pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma no-hit the Orioles (my friend was there, man), and the A's and Rangers both lost. The Astros are currently two games up on the Angels, 5.5 up on the Rangers. There are 47 games left in the season.
*Carlos Gomez wasn't in the lineup yesterday thanks to that pretty amazing play in center field against Matt Duffy on Tuesday night, but with the off-day today, he's looking to be in the lineup tomorrow.
*Jose Altuve TOOTBLANs more when the offense is struggling.
*Brad Peacock had to have back surgery to remove bone spurs as a result of a pinched nerve. He'll return in 2016.
*The Astros had a team meeting in Oakland.
*Nice one, Preston Tucker.
*Kirk Bohls on Carlos Correa.
*Oh good. Miguel Cabrera will be back for the Tigers tomorrow against the Astros.
*Director of Player Development Quinton McCracken spent six days in Quad Cities. Also, there was a drone delay in the Peoria/Lake County game.
*Watch Andrew Aplin make a boss catch for Fresno
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
