I apologize to Kels because it does come at the expense of her rocks.

I'm giving out the Stop the Bleeding Award.

Okay.

We've been talking a lot about the Houston Astros.

And not a lot of it has been good.

I'm looking at their page right now.

I see a whole rotation on the IL, much like our Atlanta Braves.

Hunter Brown, scary.

Christian Javier, scary.

Tatsuya Imai, worrisome.

Cody Bolton, as you just mentioned.

They need pitching.

They haven't gotten a lot of it.

In fact, they had gone 14 straight games without a quality start since March 31st, last done by Hunter Brown.

It's not going to be an option for them anymore.

Up from the minor leagues off his own aisle stint, one of the most fun names to say in baseball, Spencer Arriguete, came up six innings, one run, two hits, four walks, 10 punchies against the upstart Colorado Rockies.

The Astros badly needed an outing like that.

They badly needed a series win.

For Arrigetti, it's been a weird kind of calendar year for him.

Last year was supposed to be his sophomore season, a step forward.
