Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Thursday, August 14, 2008
In the moment, it hardly dawned on Lance Berkman just how strange and rare the Astros’ six-run rally was in the sixth inning Wednesday night. Without needing a hit to drive in a run, the Astros sent the San Francisco Giants’ Barry Zito to the showers while taking control.
With more walks and hit batsmen than hits in the sixth, the Astros took control to beat the Giants 6-2, extending their winning streak to a season-high seven before an appreciative crowd of 30,330 at Minute Maid Park.
...
For five innings, Zito seemed like his old dominant self Wednesday night… Then Zito mysteriously lost his control. In the sixth inning the Astros sent 12 batters to the plate, nine of them against Zito before Billy Sadler took over with his own struggles. Including the two batters Sadler hit, the Astros tied a modern baseball record as three batters were hit by pitches in the sixth.
Astros 61-59
Diamondbacks 61-59

1. Chase Utley, Shooty's Favorite Robot (Joey Belle) Posted: August 14, 2008 at 04:54 AM (#2902559)I kid, but the Astros are like flesh-eating zombies. No matter how badly they appear to suck, they never seem to go away completely. It's bloody annoying.
Diamondbacks 61-59
Dodgers 61-59
The 2007 San Diego Padres empathize.
Oh yea, none of them...
