Video Transcript
Successful stolen base for Perdomo and the D-Backs with a runner in scoring position.
Two and two on Corbin.
This is the pitch he should have driven into the seats.
Exactly.
When guys left breaking balls middle of the zone like that, that ball's in the gap or, like you said, in the seats.
Swing and a miss.
High fastball gets him.
Carroll down on strikes, the fourth for Javier, and the side has retired.
Geer, right-handed hitting catcher, batting .257, and that's lifted to left and deep.
Back is Kepler, looking up.
See ya later!
Into the Landry's Crawford Boxes for Jr. Diaz.
One-nothing, Astros.
Fred, you hang 'em?
Jr.'s gonna bang 'em.
And that's lined over the leap of the shortstop Perdomo and into left field for a base hit, so Pena one for two.
Center field.
This will get down for a base hit.
Off the end of the bat, but it'll work for Yordan Alvarez and the Astros with two runners on with one away.
And if you're gonna give up a hit to Alvarez, that's the one to give up, the broken bat bloop single.
So two on, one out, and Isan Perez stands in.
One ball and one strike to Isan Perez.
And Perez down the line, and that is a fair ball.
Pena around third, he'll score.
Isan Perez, 25th double of the season, and the Astros are on top two to nothing.
The D-backs will bring the infield in against Altuve.
Altuve to left field, coming over, and the catch is made.
They're gonna come to the plate.
Yordan is in there.
The Astros get another one, and it's three to nothing.
Leading off the top of the fourth inning for the D-Backs, it'll be Gabby Moreno.
Moreno lines it to left.
That's headed for the Crawford Boxes, and it's gone.
Gabby answers back, and the Diamondbacks are on the board.
Christian Javier did a very good job.
Gave the Astros five innings of one hit, one run baseball.
Walked three hitters, had eight strikeouts in the game.
That one hit was a home run.
Good outing getting five innings out of Christian Javier.
Well, what that does is take the potential double play away on a ground ball.
Up the middle.
Pena's there.
He'll tag out the runner at second.
Throwing to first.
What a- what a double play.
Jeremy Pena, the heads-up play.
Right place at the right time.
That was heads-up, because this is terrible baserunning.
Josh Hader time as he is on for the Astros for the 39th time.
Got a lead, you bring this guy in.
He has been money.
22 of 22 in save opportunities.
Sub-1 ERA, sub-1 WHIP. .
Swing and a miss.
Got him.
One away in the ninth.
It's been all fastballs, and that's 1-and-2 still.
Strike three.
And the Diamondbacks are down to their final out.
The Diamondbacks are down to their final strike, and this crowd of more than 33,000 rises.
