    Blanco deserved the win, but great pitching on both sides.

    Is pitching starting to dominate around the league again? Have they got a new substance that is not detectable? Are they going to talk lowering the mound or moving it back again??

    8 in a row!!!!

    Only 2 hits... But or pitching continue to dominate the rays.

    They only have 4 runs in the last 5 games against the Astros. No game have they given up more than 2 runs. . Crazy.

    Joe Espada is 13-8 in his last 21 games decided by 2 runs or fewer.

    That will win you a division.

    As Buck said, Caratini could have PH for him. I think Espada is trying a last ditch effort trying to get Chas going by telling him he believes in him. Also why I think he started again after last night.

    Should change the rules and give Hader both a win and a save in this one. He earned and deserved both.

    Arizona is now at 5.3 runs per game.

    While I think the tide is turning to some degree to the pitching side, it's not to that extent that you're describing.

    - 8-game winning streak (season-high and first time since May '23)
    - 10 games above 500 (season-high)
    - 2.5 game division lead (season-high)
    - Astros win with only 2 hits (opponent only had 2 too)
    - Hader was a cotdamn multi-inning BEAST
    - Blanco only throws 73 pitches (load management) and we win. Hopefully no injury
    - 8-1 road trip

    I had this same thought the other day. Especially with the new extra inning rules. You deserve a save.

    More importantly only 5.5 games back for the all important 2nd bye spot.

    Kind of like Tari Eason of the Rockets; went on injured reserve, disappeared from the face of the earth.

    Did he lose a leg? These baseball players take forever to come back.
