Grisham has the bat taken out of his hands by two bad calls with a runner in scoring position.

Grisham up for his 1st try. Curve stays high, 1-0. Cutter bounced, 2-0. Beats him clean with a FB near the top in the middle, 2-1 Brown sees the runners dancing, steps off. Then Grisham takes his timeout. Grisham gets a bad call on a sinker that was an inch or two below the knees, 2-2. 0% on Gameday. And gets called out on strikes on an EVEN WORSE pitch, 2-3 inches low near the outside corner.
Inning over.
Bottom 2, 0-0. 0% on Gameday, but as usual, Statcast K zone thinks it's a strike 50-60%. Statcast K zone always gives an extra 2-3 inches at the bottom, and sometimes at the top, too.

Bregman takes a strike. Slider low/away, 1-1. Sinker near the outside corner, fouled off to the right. 1-2 Cutter away, hit pretty hard up the middle, Stroman ducks out of the way, but Torres is positioned right there, throws him out, 1 down.

Diaz takes a ball, then another sinker inside, 2-0. Takes a "slurve" just outside middle, 2-1. Jams him with a sinker in grounded toward the 56 hole, Cabrera makes a good play cutting it off, but bounces the throw to Rizzo, who can't hold the backhand scoop, E-6.

Bad slider down the middle, Abreu pulls it foul Got away with that one, Marcus. Sinker on the corner away, just below the waist, 0-2. Hangs another slider, but it was near the outside corner, and Abreu fouled it. Was supposed to be 4-5 inches outside. Sinker 6 inches outside, 1-2. Sinker was supposed to jam him, but he bounces it over home, 2-2 Came inside with the sinker, Abreu tries to check, and it hits him. Very close to a swing, HBP puts men on 1st and 2nd. Two straight gifts by the Yanks.

Pena takes a sinker on the corner away, thigh high Slider low and away, soft bouncer to Volpe, gets the force, but no chance for a DP, Pena beats the relay with ease. 1st and 2nd, 2 down for Dubon.

1st really good slider from Stroman to Pena there, I think.

Sure; looks like a swing. Abreu himself thought he swung.

Dubon takes a ball Sinker running inside corner, driven hard to deep right, Soto tries to get back, can't get to it, goes off the top of the wall, bounces back and by the time Soto recovers, both runs score, 2-0 Astros Inexact route by Soto, broke over and back, then tried to backpeddle straight back. Not sure he catches it without a perfect route.
