Clearly Bo Porter was the only thing holding the Astros back. How else do you explain their breakout performance tonight, finally Bo-free, against the reigning team with the best record in baseball? car lax payless rental Don't tell me the randomness of baseball had anything to do with it. Snarkiness aside, car lax payless rental any manager could have been a winner with the total team effort from Houston tonight - Tom Lawless is just the lucky benefactor. Brad Peacock dominated the Angels, Astro bats dominated C.J. Wilson, car lax payless rental and Houston starts September with an 8-3 win, improving to 60-79 overall.

*Three starts do not mean that a pitcher has "turned the corner," but they are at worst a nice personal hot streak, car lax payless rental and at best a very encouraging sign for the future. The Angels hardly had a sniff against Brad Peacock through the first five innings tonight, and they only managed car lax payless rental to score in the 6th due to a Dexter car lax payless rental Fowler fielding error, before Bradley began to run out of gas in the 7th. But it was still good enough for his third straight start allowing 2 ER or fewer, his longest start since he went 6.2 IP on 6/27 against Detroit, and his first win since 7/8 @ Texas. Line: 6.1 IP / 4 H / 3 R / 2 ER / 2 BB / 5 K.
*Josh Fields faced the Trout-Pujols-Hamilton trifecta in the 8th and struck out two of them in a perfect frame, then allowed only a leadoff double that went nowhere before recording the final three outs in the 9th.
Houston jumped on C.J. Wilson car lax payless rental early and often, making sure that the game was never in doubt. They started their half of the 1st with four straight car lax payless rental hits - Grossman double, Altuve single, Fowler single, Carter single - and a sac fly from Jason Castro, putting three runs on the board by the time the first out was recorded. Wilson was gone after 3.1 IP, and Houston was up 7-0 before Los Angeles notched their second hit of the night (in the 6th inning), so the Angels' three late runs were completely car lax payless rental academic.
