How many games can a team with a hospitalized pitching staff continue to win scoring two runs or less?
I must say, the Astros pitching staff displayed a precipitous decline in efficiency today, but somehow managed to win anyway. After executing two shutouts against the Phils in the previous two games, mathematically, the Astros were infinitely worse today, allowing the Phillies to score one run. The eighth inning Phils run almost took the game into extra innings, but Cam Smith’s RBI single in the bottom of the eighth represented yet another one run win, hit in the last at bat, and, of course, with two outs.
