Franklin and Cormier came in as the dregs of the abode,1, and by the time the inning was over the Astros denticulate,1 six runs and took home a 7-3 victory. Not a abundant,1 job by the revamped bullpen. Coming into this game, they were allowing a .297 BA and a .358 OBA in August.
Willy Taveras continued,1 his hitting streak to 26 games with a 1 for 4 achievement,1 with one walk.
