Sale is filthy... the Astros have seen the toughest of the Chi Sox, Orioles and Blue Jays over the last month (all three teams with big-time "talent" that are vastly underachieving).
Not the hammy!! <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Springer appeared to grab his right hamstring as he came off first base.

See my above posts... they've faced some pretty good pitchers, or pitchers that had been struggling and are now turing it around. They're still unlikely to ever hit for a high average... but that's not going to prevent them from winning games.
Sale nearing 100 pitches. Get him out by the 7th. Get to the bullpen. That's our only hope to win game.
Gattis and Carter seem to be completely intertwined... when one goes south, the other goes south... and vice/versa.
