No need to push Leake. 99 pitches. I'd make this his last batter.
I'm not a system player. I am a system.
Leake gets out of it with a big K!
Standing ovation to you, Leake.

Altuve is the only legitimate ballplayer on the Astros. He's scrappy.
This non free-fall from the norm by Leake sure has been a delight to watch.
Tonight would be a good night to have Marshall work the ninth.

OK, I'll try. But strangers things have happened. I don't like it when someone gets really hot and the team getting chased is assuming its a done deal.
• The ’64 Phils had a 6 ½ game lead with 12 games to play – and blew it. They lost eight games in the standings in 10 days.
• In 2012, the Texas Rangers were up five games with nine games to go -- and the Oakland A's caught them, beating the Rangers six times head-to-head among those final nine.
• In 2011, the Atlanta Braves led St. Louis by 4 1/2 games with 10 to play; the Boston Red Sox led Tampa Bay by 4 games with 12 to play. The chasers -- St. Louis and Tampa Bay -- won the wild-cards slots.
