Astros halt Cease’s doubleheader opener win streak

Chicago White Sox rookie Dylan Cease started the game in less than ideal form: Giving up a home run on the first pitch in the top of the first inning. Eight pitches later, with runners on second and third and one out, Cease intentionally walked Yordan Alvarez to load the bases for Yuli Gurriel. On a 2-2 count, Gurriel hit a soft grounder for the 5-4-3 double play Cease needed to get out of the inning largely unscathed.

I feel obligated to include this because I support quality punnage, though the execution needs some work, @Astros. At least capitalize Cease, jeez.
