Mike Fiers got smoked and the Astros lose on the road. Again. The Masked Marvel has your recap.
*Fiers:
They came out swinging. Even the first couple innings, they were swinging right off the bat. I need to make better pitchers early on in the count.
*Michael Feliz has a 41.25% K-rate.
*It looks as though A.J. Reed re-aggravated his hamstring injury.
*Kent Emanuel - the Astros 2013 3rd Round pick - threw 5IP, 4H/1ER, 2K:1BB in his season debut for Corpus last night. Notable? He only had Tommy John surgery 11 months ago. Carlos Gomez went 1x4 with a strikeout (he's 2x11 on his rehab stint).
*Mark Appel is on the DL with a strained right shoulder after the Phillies noticed a drop in velocity.
*From Vice: New technologies are forcing baseball to balance Big Data with Big Brother
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
