00:00You say Kikuchi got the start for the Scroes. He did not get

00:06the win but he's made five outings now for Houston since

00:10being acquired ahead of the trade deadline and the Astros

00:14has one have won all five that Kikuchi has started. Yesterday,

00:18six to three in the finale as we start this as we started to

00:22see some offense late. The two teams split the four game set

00:26this weekend in Baltimore. How about this too? Like six three

00:30final like okay uh scoring get to the over and that sounds

00:34great but this game did start a little bit slow but how about

00:36that you know offense that we've talked about for the

00:39Baltimore Orioles for so much this year. It's an awesome one

00:42through nine. It's so much fun. There's so much power. So much

00:44versatility and you get a game last night which again you say

00:47Kikuchi has been very good for the Houston Astros. You had one

00:50runner in scoring position all night at home in Camden Yards

00:53which is a hitter's ballpark. That can't be enough and also

00:56like Dean Kramer wasn't sensational last night. Six

00:59innings pitch in three earned runs. That should be enough for

01:01a victory but yet that offense a little bit stagnant for

01:04Baltimore. Seventy-six and fifty-six on the season. Still

01:07having a good season but this just continues to watch the

01:10Houston Astros at seventy and sixty on the season. Getting

01:13pitching performances out of guys. They're picking up at the

01:15trade deadline like this. That's exactly or even better than what

01:19you thought it could be. Solid win for the Astros. We're

01:22waiting here for the Baltimore Orioles to sorta solidify that

01:25starting line. But I need to talk about the one through nine.

01:27Just those pitchers here cuz Corbin Burns not as good as he

01:29was to start the season. So a little bit of question marks

01:32but the good thing about it is you have a full 30 plus days to

01:35rectify this situation and you're not too far back talking

01:38about the Orioles to catch the Yankees.
