Verlander walks two with one out in the top of the second but Sandy Leon's single
was wasted when Dustin Pedroia was thrown out at second---still, the run scored
by Mitch Moreland counts, 2-1, Astros, mid-second . . .

I think that is the first time I have ever seen Marwin fail to put the ball in play in that situation.

Really didn't expect Springer to start the post season with 3K's either.
