Collin McHugh (2-3, 6.65) versus Alex Meyer (0-0, 18.00)
(a.k.a. The Battle for the AL Basement)
So the two bottom-most AL teams battle it out for the second day in a row with the "winner" owning the basement by themselves. This occurred after the Astros dropped the first game of the series to the Twins (awesomely recapped by Jexas right here). Dallas Keuchel seemed to nibble his way to another rough start last night, and the Astros scored two more runs, both on solo homers. We have talked at length this year about (i) the poor starting pitching and (ii) the reliance on home runs to score runs, partly because of (iii) crappy situational hitting.
