Houston took the opener of a four-game set in Baltimore on Thursday by the count of 6-0. On Friday, it looked to be another cake walk, as it scored four runs in the third inning, then added another in the sixth for the 5-2 lead.

Jose Altuve ($5,400; 21 FPTS) opened up the scoring with a two-run home run. Jeremy Pena ($4,500; 23 FPTS) followed that up with an RBI-double, then Jake Meyers ($3,300; 10 FPTS) plated Pena with a single. Pena then hit a solo home run in the sixth inning.

On the mound for the Astros, Hunter Brown ($9,400; 20.5 FPTS) was dealing, striking out six in six innings while walking two and allowing one earned run on three hits. The lone blemish was a solo shot by Colton Cowser ($4,800; 19 FPTS) in the third inning. The Orioles scored their other run on an error in the first inning.

Then the bottom of the eighth came.

Cowser led off with a single. Adley Rutschman ($5,100; 7 FPTS) notched another single with Cowser advancing to third base. After a fielder’s choice loaded the bases, Anthony Santander ($5,400; 25 FPTS) worked the count to 2-1, then sent a pitch over the right field fence for a grand slam. My handy abacus says that Baltimore now leads 6-5 after trailing 5-2.

Ramon Urias ($3,100; 15 FPTS) finished off the inning with an RBI-triple to make the final score 7-5.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
