 Still getting over the fact that Jeremy Rehack, a 36-year-old umpire, fairly new to the game in the big leagues, and he did his job. Pitch clock violation by Jordan Alvarez, and that ended the Houston top half of the first. Now Frambois Valdez takes the mound. Left-hander, 5'11", 30 years old, out of Sabana Grande, Palenquique in the Dominican Republic. Works on the third base side of the rubber. Here's J.P. Crawford, first pitch, fastball inside, ball one.
