SIMULATED MLB: ASTROS EDGE A’S/RANGER FALL TO NATS
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.
Thursday, Astros pitchers limited the A’s to just three hits en route to a 2-1 win. Zach Grienke (6-3) picked up his fifth-straight win, while Roberto Osuna recorded his 15th save on the season. Friday, the Astros host Boston.
Mike Minor suffered his league-leading eighth loss of the season, as the Rangers fell to Washington, 6-1. Minor yielded four runs over six innings as his ERA now stands at 6.75 for the season. The Rangers open a weekend series with Oakland, Friday.
Here are the box scores…enjoy!
