Skinny: Reddick hit a hanger. … Springer hit hard one-hopper to SS Francisco Lindor, who was unable to make backhanded pick. … Carrasco was fortunate that Altuve was off-balance and took what amounted to an emergency hack at a poorly located pitch. 2B Jose Ramirez tripped and fell back on the turn but managed an accurate relay to first.
