Astros’ Hinch ejected after 2 runs score on wild pitch

The play was unreviewable, and manager A.J. Hinch was tossed.

If facing major-league hitters wasn’t tough enough, Carlos Carrasco went to battle with a swarm of midges to lead the Indians to a 6-5 win over the Houston Astros on Wednesday night at Progressive Field.

Castro added: “I thought it was pretty obvious it was a foul ball”.

“It was a big ask for us to expect Paulino to go long”, Hinch said.

Cleveland Indians’ Mike Napoli, right, gets congratulations from Francisco Lindor after hitting a two-run home run off Houston Astros starting pitcher Doug Fister during the fifth inning of a baseball game Wednesday, Sept. 7, 20. “But with the way it happened – losing the last two the way we did – you’re going to be a mess, psychologically, about it”. Chisenhall might have checked his swing, but the ball then bounced off the dirt in front of home plate and hit Chisenhall’s bat. Fans decrying the state of umpiring in the game today do so mostly because yesterday’s game lacked the high-definition slow-motion replay that now exposes so many bad calls, and Joyce maintains a pretty good reputation among players despite his notable mistakes.

After Hinch’s ejection, the play was reviewed only to determine that time was called before Ramirez crossed home plate. He allowed a run on six hits and struck out four without issuing a walk.

Jim Joyce apparently agreed because he randomly stopped play, despite no one picking up the ball.

“They were everywhere”, Terry Francona said.

– With the Yankees’ win, four teams in the AL East are separated by just two games – a gap smaller than the first- and second-place teams in every other Major League Baseball division.

Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch (14) is ejected from the game by home plate umpire Jim Joyce as ca … RHP Brad Peacock got the nod Tuesday against the Indians, allowing one run in 3 2/3 innings, and is the favorite. Miami also recently welcomed back their own ailing star in Giancarlo Stanton, and at five games out in the National League wild-card race the club are clinging to their last play-off breaths.

Foul balls are not reviewable for some reason.

Astros: SS Carlos Correa was sent back to Houston because of inflammation in his left shoulder.

Astros: RHP Joe Musgrove (2-3) opens a three-game home series Friday against the Chicago Cubs and Jon Lester (15-4). The 6-foot-7 Dominican went 5-4 with a 2.00 ERA in 20 minor league outings this year.
