Ward a third-base Tyler his name is Taylor got a little fired up in the moment and God who I was talking about the Blake Parker in the game now trying to get out of this inning and salvage what is an explosive inning for the Astros still only one out as George Springer will bat with first and third trying to add on to the 65 lead this bolt pin for Mike Scioscia in the last three or four games has been absolutely atrocious broken bat part of the bat goes beyond Evan Gattis at third base Springer gets a new stick well we showed you the numbers for the Houstonian Justin Anderson against the Astros this year as you see the bat fly apart he came in to a 5-1 game after his team to stated them all the moment of the world and he walked Jose Altuve on four pitches and then he walked the banner later Marwin Gonzalez both those guys came around to score then the throwing error by Taylor award with a potential inning ending double play on the ball off the bat of Tyler white runner on the go miles draw easily in its second base straw picks up his first major-league steel head bird it's got some wheels use him that's why he's in there not exactly the greatest of jumps put the speed more than makes up for it 70 steals this year at the minor league level double-a and triple-a combined that's his first major league steal thankfully takes he runs himself out of a double play situation Jorge down a Meccano into up the middle base hit daddy's gone straw mine Ketchum five Astros [Applause] infield drawn in so everything that went wildly wrong for the Astros up until there's a thinning they thank goodness Evan was running his hardest kiss Trump put some right on his back Springer two RBIs and Jose Altuve packs for the second time with the Eddie there is nobody sitting in this stadium [Applause] now to date rule walk score to run it to start this city [Applause] 12 runs in this inning combined after there was one run score in the first seven innings and never know what's gonna happen when he come out to the ballpark what's that old theory don't walk the leadoff man that's what led to the demise of the Astros bullpen last in the 8th inning the top Mastro start their inning with the leadoff walk - you name huge play and that sequence is the fielder's choice air two walks four singles it could have been an inning-ending double play instead turned into two runs scored both teams have sent ten men to the plate in this eighth inning Astro still with only one out of the inning tray number 27 has just like you Dean station it is now 10 to 5 [Applause] they might here this stadium all the way back in Oakland right now [Applause] just when you thought the angels were going to snap their streak of allowing double-digit runs they give up nine in the eighth four consecutive games their pitching staff has allowed ten or more spewpa is fired up and rightfully so breath Minh goes the other way that's a basehead everybody's getting on base Alex with his first hit of the night still one out of the inning Mike Scioscia just does not have any answers out of his bullpen tonight that Dell two bays on run center cut he did - just destroyed lean on him Jose the Astros have turned a 4-run deficit into a five run lead in the bottom half of the eighth inning still only one out Marwin batting [Applause] this is right up there the craziest game of 2018 [Applause] 14 runs combined in the eighth inning it was one nothing heading into the eighth 101 to Marwan Marwin another chance to extend his hitting streak go for 3 with a walk tonight a seven-game hitting streak on the line [Applause] justin anderson started this inning for the angels i butchery came on after a couple of walks in one al luxury did not record now although look like he had the inning-ending double play on the ground ball off the bat of tyler white that was thrown away and now lake parker [Applause] 1 & 2 the count [Applause] angels and twins tied at two in the seventh inning I'm still trying to wrap my head around what the heck is going on a lot of yellow this is incredible swing and a Miss Parker picks up the second out of the inning or we goes down swinging and that'll bring up you lee Hyori has three hits including the first RBI in this inning mismatch drive you nuts at home frustration for a good seven innings question marks all over the place between players decisions on the base pass player movement in the lineup who's coming out of the bullpen and all of a sudden the Astros offense makes you forget all about it telling you this is right up there with the wackiest games we have seen the last couple of years here's Julie looking for his fourth hit he only had three hits last night two home runs seven runs batted in three more hits tonight he is now 17 for 41 his last 11 home games and has driven in 16 run I'm pretty excited about that you a foul ball [Applause] to most runs scored in an inning this season for the Astros putting up nine in the bottom of the eighth does it say somebody's gonna wake up tomorrow and see the box score I'll go home the Astros scored double-digit runs again and won the ball game hopefully then you're gonna see the line score and go what that ain't bidding 14 runs in the same thing between both teams anything has been good to the Astros this year the most runs scored in any inning by far is the 898 runs scored in the fourth is the next closest in a hundred and nineteen runs scored in the eighth [Applause] because you cannot assume a double-play the error by award would only have been the second out so all these runs are earned in this inning against the angel oh my with the exception of the runner that would have been forced out at second base so I guess a to the 9 will be earth [Applause] wanted to [Applause] this crowd just does not want to sit in this inning it's been too good of an inning they're ready to erupt at the end of the England [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] virtual Sunna has been warming up this game changed from a deficit to a save situation to a five-run game [Applause] line drive caught by Ward and that'll do it biggest inning of the season for the Astros and they played it 10 to 5 [Music] [Music]
