The Astros won a baseball game yesterday to the tune of 9-to-4. Their opponent was the Diamondbacks. That’s not what I want to write about.
Instead, I want to write about one particular at-bat. Specifically Brad Peacock’s at-bat in the third inning.
First, let me set the scene.
Brad Peacock, the Astros starting pitcher, stepped up to the plate in the top of the third inning. There were two fellow Astros on-base, George Springer and Jake Marisnick. Daniel Banda was the pitcher for the Diamondbacks. He already surrendered five runs on 61 pitches. He already had two outs and needed a third to get out of the jam.
