00:00What about the Houston Astros?

00:05They just do not go away and they were taking on a pretty hot baseball team right now.

00:09That was the Padres last night.

00:11This one down there at Petco in San Diego.

00:13We needed extra innings to sort it out.

00:16Houston come up victorious four to three.

00:18It was actually Michael King who had the edge out there on the bump, the starting pitcher

00:22for the Padres.

00:23He fans seven, but it was the Astros getting that win in the 10th.

00:27We highlighted Altuve had to remove the wheels to get it done, Donnie.

00:33By the way, you take a look at the two pitchers yesterday.

00:35Fantastic.

00:36Brown, six innings pitch, two earned runs.

00:37King, seven innings pitch, two earned runs.

00:39There were some interesting things that happened last night.

00:42First before we get the Altuve one, it was Manny Machado tied the game up with a two

00:46nothing game to two to two with a two run shot.

00:49The funny part about that was it was one of those dubsy, the 3-0 count where the ball

00:52four, which for some reason in Major League Baseball, the pitcher gets way more leniency

00:56on the 3-0 count to get a strike than he would at any other time in that at bat.

00:59So Machado throws the bat, tries to go to the first base.

01:02They bring it back in.

01:03So it's a three to one count now, right?

01:04Same thing happens.

01:05The ball's outside.

01:06They caught a strike.

01:07He already threw the bat, was on his way to first base.

01:09So now he's agitated.

01:10So what does he do, Dubsy?

01:11Bam, plants the ball into the left field seats to tie it up at two to two.

01:14And also you talk about Jose Altuve who grounded out, but the ball hit his toe, which they

01:19didn't call and he took his shoes off and his socks off to show.

01:23I've seen that in golf before, Dubs, right?

01:25You go into the hazard, you say, you know what, let me roll my pants up, take my socks

01:29off so I don't get a penalty here.

01:30But you don't get thrown out of the golf tournament if you do show up official saying, I'm going

01:34to hit this ball anyway.

01:35It was interesting to see that outright, but also big win by the Astros in extra innings

01:40four to three.

01:41They deserve that victory here.

01:42And they now pick up their 82nd win of the season, hoping to finally put the clamps on

01:46that A.L. West.
