Fortunate to slip by Houston after being no-hit?


Uh, yeah.

You scored and an error in the 9th...and then won it on a HBP.

That's pretty much the definition of lucky.

Uh, no.

We did not score on an error.

Clement put down a beautiful squeeze bunt with Butler sliding in safely at home to tie the game. We put pressure on them, and they broke. Call it what you will, but we made our own luck.

I've said it in another thread and I'll say it again, we gave ourselves a chance to win in the end because we played great defense and pitched great after that solo bomb in the 1st inning. Keeping it a 1-0 game till the end is just as important to us winning as getting HBP in the last at bat.

Baseball is a 9-inning game. 1 HBP did not determine the whole game.
