The streak is broken. Boston got us. The Astros are now the only team in the majors to have 2 10-game winning streak. In fact, we're the only team to have 1 10-game winning streak. But anyways, about the game yesterday:
Springer: 0-3 and left the game with back tightness. The severity of the injury is currently unknown, but he is now considered day-to-day.
Correa: 1-4, 2-run HR
Reddick: 2-2
Miley: 5 IP, 7 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 2 K
