ASTROS PICK UP FOURTH-STRAIGHT VIRTUAL WIN
In order to attempt to fill the void left by the temporary absence of Major League Baseball, the long-time baseball board/computer game, Strat-o-Matic is playing the 2020 season, virtually.
Strat-o-Matic is using their computer technology to recreate all of the scheduled 2020 games.
As a light-hearted way to fill the absence of live-action baseball, KWHI will post the daily results of the computer-generated games involving the Houston Astros and Texas Rangers.
While it, in no way, can replace actual baseball, we hope it will act as a tongue-in-cheek substitute until real baseball returns.
Monday, George Springer had a monster day, going 4-4, with a double and home run (4), while scoring three runs and driving in two, a Houston downed Oakland, 6-2. It was the Astros’ fourth-straight win and Oakland’s first loss.
Jose Altuve had three hits and drove in a run, while Austin Pruitt (1-0) went six strong innings to pick up the win.
The Rangers had the day off Monday, and return to action Tuesday at home to the Angels.
Here’s the boxscore…enjoy!
