Riley Greene is cleaning up today and hits a high cutter. Keith strikes out on an outside change, but Spencer Torkelson gets a hit up the middle, but the throw pulls first baseman Victor Caratini out of the bag and Torkelson is safe. McKinstry gets a hit and drops to left center field for a double as Torkelson advances to third, but Trey Sweeney beats to Altuve to thwart that scoring chance.

Now Tyler Holton is the second straight starting left tackle the Astros have faced in this series. Jose Altuve runs the ball and hits it to third baseman Zach McKinstry, who throws it to first base just in time for the first out. Kyle Tucker struck out swinging and Yordan Alvarez struck out Colt Keith for the bottom of the first inning.
