Fogg gets the other two outs rather easily. Still 2-1 'Stros after 5.
Dickerson, Kepp, Phillips due up in the 6th.
Dickerson works the count full and then watches ball 4. Nice AB there.
Leadoff runner on 1st for Kepp.
Kepp's dribbler to short allows Dickerson to get to 2nd.
1 out with Phillips up.
Phillips dribbles one down to 1st, getting Dickerson to 3rd.
2 down now with Votto at bat.
Votto's hanging tough, fouling off a couple 95 mph fastballs with 2 strikes.
However, the 96 mph heater gets him swinging. 2-1 'Stros in the middle of 6 with Tejada, Berkman and Blum due up.
Fogg gives up a walk to Berkman and a single to Pence, but gets out of the inning unscathed.
2-1 Astros after 6. Bruce, EE, and Patterson due up.
Bruce ropes a leadoff single into left.
EE digs in.
Edwin GIDP on the 2nd pitch. 2 outs with a pitcher due up.
Yuck.
Fogg hanging in there so far....maybe they should keep him :
Well I'll be a monkey's uncle. Patterson with a groundball single up the middle. Bako now up.
Bako grounds out to 2nd.
Oswalt with 90 pitches through 7, Fogg with 101. I imagine Dusty will bring in someone to relieve Fogg.
