Yesterday was a Monday. The Astros played a non-important baseball game against the Boston Red Sox. This game ended in a 5-5 tie.
This just so happen to be a relatively uneventful day in terms of baseball. But yesterday’s game does help me appreciate the fact that baseball, in theory, should never result in ties.
But there was some interesting performances. For example, Chris Devenski struck out four Red Sox batters in three innings. But the right-hander also allowed a three-run home run to Sam Travis in the third inning.
Francis Martes pitched two innings while allowing an earned run in his second Spring Training appearance.
