ASTROS TAKE VIRTUAL 13-INNING PITCHERS DUEL; RANGERS FALL
In an attempt to fill the void left by the 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 attempt 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.
The Astros pulled out a 13-inning pitchers’ duel when Aledmys Diaz homered for a 1-0 win over Toronto. Seven Houston pitchers teamed up for the five-hit shutout. Same two teams meet in Toronto, Wednesday.
The Rangers only managed one run on seven hits as they fell to Oakland, 5-1. Texas starter Kyle Gibson took the loss. The series continues Wednesday.
Here are the box scores…enjoy!
