I'll just use my game notes here . . .
Josh Reddick---looks at a strike; two balls to him; ball three; ball four and the Astros have the leadoff runner
on. Maeda up in the pen for the third time. Kenta Maeda now in the game for the Dodgers. Evan Gattis pinch
hits for Justin Verlander---ball one to him; ball two low and away; looks at a strike on the outside corner;
Barnes and Utley to the mound to talk to Maeda; swinging strike two; and a grounder to short, not hit hard,
Seager to Utley for one at second with Reddick sliding in hard, throw to first, close but Gattis is safe, but it's
a big out for the Dodgers. George Springer---strike called, slider at the knees; ball low, fastball at 94;
grounder to the hole, off Seager's diving glove into shallow left, base hit and Gattis to second. Two on,
one out, Derek Fisher pinch runs for Evan Gattis. Alex Bregman---ball one misses low and away, bouncing
and Barnes deflected it to the dirt, Maeda is pitching on fumes now, between his workload before now
and the three warmup sessions he had before coming in. And Alex Wood is warming up in the pen. Bregman
flies out to center, Fisher tags and moves to third, Springer stays on first. Jose Altuve---AL batting champion
but 0-for-3 tonight so far---fouls one off; ball one inside to him; fouls another off, 1-2 to him; grounder to
third, Turner has it and Bellinger digs out the throw for the side, and the Dodgers escape another jam. 2-1,
Dodgers, middle seven.
