00:00tied at one
00:08Aaron Hill heads for the box to start off the fifth in this one
00:12third baseman Aaron Hill
00:24Keuchel's ready here comes the first pitch
00:28out in front of it strike one
00:34the wind-up and the 0-1
00:37and boy big problems here to start this at-bat it's 0-2 now
00:41he's just cruising out there now I'll tell you this may turn into a game of
00:46first team to two wins
00:53swung on and lifted in the air to left center
00:56Gomez has a beat on it and that's the first out of the inning
01:03how about it designated hitter
01:05will will Middlebrooks stands in for the second time hit it hard but lined out in
01:12his first at-bat yeah he put a good swing on it last time so we'll see if he can
01:16make one fall here
01:18and he'll miss the target away with a fastball it's 1-0
01:29runs outside so it goes to 2-0 now
01:31one run on three hits and no errors on the Milwaukee line score so far
01:393-0 now pitching him pretty careful here wouldn't you say
01:42well it's possible to be too careful I mean this is not a silver slugger award winner up there you
01:48want this guy to hit the ball and put it in play
01:58and a good comeback there it's three and one and at the plate he might have been told
02:03look you're taken until you get a strike not a bad idea
02:17inside with the fastball and it works the base on ball
02:21and that's going to break a string of seven in a row that he sent down
02:24so now with one away they finally get themselves another base runner
02:30Kirk Neuenheis is the batter
02:32got a base hit in his first trip
02:40from the stretch here's the pitch
02:43and he starts the number eight hitter with a strike
02:46nothing in one
02:56and here's a ball hit in the air
02:58and this is going to wind up a foul ball
03:080-2 is a fastball that misses inside one and two now
03:21and a fastball swung on and missed as he just reared back there two away
03:25and you know as a hitter with the runner at first and one out
03:30I think I'm going to see something down in the zone because I know they want
03:34me to hit into a double play instead they go ahead and they challenge him up and
03:38I don't think he was expecting
03:48and now Jonathan Villar as the first pitch to him is taken low and away for ball one
04:08fastball at 88 that time a ball and a strike
04:21fastball at 88 that time a ball and a strike
04:33and a strikeout at 88 that time a ball and a strikeout
04:34to 2-2 now
04:34yeah and it seems like he kind of got away from that pitch here in the last few innings
04:39you got to think about bringing that one right back
04:48all even at two and two here it is swung on and missed and that's the final out of the
04:54inning
04:56milwaukee leaves one halfway home all even at one apiece
05:10jason castro comes to the plate as we get started here in the bottom of the fifth
05:16catcher jason castro
05:25first pitch on its way and they start him out away with a cold strike
05:43into the windup here comes the oh and one ball one
05:58swing and he pops him up over toward foul territory and taken in out there for the first out
06:07we'll take a look at this on show track and that's been an effective location for him so far
06:12he's really been handcuffing these guys inside and he gets another pop-up out of it
06:18Jose Altuve will stand in now he took home the silver slugger award in the american league a year ago
06:43first pitch coming here it is
06:47heading out towards shallow right
06:49santana moves over
06:52two down
06:56a right fielder
06:59george springer will stand in now a punch out victim twice already
07:04ek i'll ask you because you're the one sitting next to me do you approach an at bat differently
07:09when you have two strikeouts under your belt this early in the game
07:12well you do in the sense that whatever you did the first two times it wasn't working but i think
07:19if
07:19you start worrying too much about trying to avoid the hat trick or or worse it'll start becoming a mind
07:26game and you'll start falling into some pretty bad habits one oh fastball too high to start him out
07:32here one and oh two quick outs in the inning this hitters job is to work the count get on
07:37base and give
07:38his middle of the order hitters a chance in this inning
07:44that's inside two and oh a much better approach here at the plate so far
07:49well he's not working from behind in the count like he has his first few at bats
07:57two out nobody on
08:04down low and the plot thickens here three and oh i think at this point a two out walk isn't
08:12the worst thing in the world you'd like to avoid it if you can but this can be a dangerous
08:16spot if
08:16you just grew one taking all the way and it's three and one now not turn loose there i thought
08:27that he might be swinging with two away but apparently not
08:42no walks yet here's the delivery and that one's taken outside for a ball they walked him so no one
08:49two three ending here they've got themselves a two out base runner and that's not the first time he's
08:54had the bat taken out of his hands you see right there a lot of people just said hey with
08:58an open
08:58base forget about it i'm gonna let the next guy try to beat me now move over to first and
09:11the runner back safely
09:19here's carlos correa now and he'll take a change up here for strike one
09:31runner aboard at first here with two gone in a 1-1 ball game
09:39and it's quickly 0-2
09:52swing and a high pop up back onto the outfield grass now
09:57and as it turns out the two out walk doesn't come around to haunt him as that ends the inning
10:03and the Astros leave one we played five full tied at one aside
10:16scooter janet steps in here to lead off the sixth as the rain continues to fall here
10:21i'm glad i'm up in this cozy booth with you guys because he kind of looks pretty miserable down
10:26there to me in there and it's 0-1 well this guy has thrown a first pitch strike to about
10:3250 of the
10:33batters he's faced he's pitching well but those numbers could be pumped up a little bit
