    Great series win on the road. Keep the momentum going. Should take both against ATL at home after an off day.

    Still say Devenski should have come in in the 6th. After all, he is the only quality reliever on this team.

    Giles did let that first guy hit a GB. The 3rd guy actually fouled one off. This is unacceptable from my closer.

    Only caught the end but great to get the series win. Giles didn't make me start sweating so that's a positive.

    Snarky comments aside, this is a really good pen.

    Quite a few times it has slammed the door on a very close game, often having to take over in the 6th.

    Giles went 1-2-3. Great work. Entire bullpen did well.

    Stros keep winning series without even hustling out of the box.

    Yes, it's a great experience. Citi Field is very nice as well. You have to get a Nathan's hot dog while you are there.

    Didn't see last few innings.

    How'd Harris and Giles do? Can't tell sarcasm from reality in this thread.

    Nice W!

    Stros did their job, Rockets better do theirs.

    One base runner between them, they were both great. Harris went 2 innings and Giles pitched a perfect 9th, but he did allow one guy to put the ball in play, so he's gonna have to work on that.

    Rangers just blew an 0-3 lead to SEA. Still surprised to see that whole lineup struggle so mightily. They've gotta be kicking themselves for letting Moreland and Desmond go (granted, not sure how they're doing this year but have gotta be better than Napoli and Gomez). Of course their offense won't save their bullpen.
