Part of why they were able to get him for Joey Lope Perfido, who is an interesting ball player, but not really someone with a great amount of trade value, is because he had a tough time in Houston, and Houston just didn't really want to pay him what he would have got through arbitration.

voice-verified
So there's a very genuine effort by the team to keep him as fresh as possible and keep him as healthy as possible.
voice-verified
And that does mean he's not going to play in some of these games.
voice-verified
And this game actually didn't really have much of a problem with.
voice-verified
They've already secured

the series win, day game after night game.
voice-verified
You have the unusual schedule at the Saturday night game, the heat being a factor.
