Preview
You may be wondering why are the Astros starting at 1:07 PM local time? Because it's a big day in Canada. The 2015 Women's World Cup starts today and is hosted by Canada. The opening match between Canada and China is at 6:30 p.m. CT.
Back to baseball, it appears the Astros' bats got lost in the luggage as they traveled north. Houston went down in order through six innings and didn't get a run till the ninth inning. Now they face Drew Hutchison, who led the Astros to two runs over six innings in their first tussle. He's been a bit all over the place since that start, giving up four runs in two starts and pitching a complete game shutout in the other.
