Space Cowboys outlasted Comets 2-1 in a low-scoring battle where Raynel Delgado's ground out in the sixth inning brought home the go-ahead run. Comets out-hit their opponent but left opportunities on the board, while Space Cowboys capitalize on their chances. The clubs meet again Thursday for another round.
Space Cowboys 2, Comets 1: the go-ahead run scored in the bottom of the sixth when Delgado grounded out softly, with Collin Price crossing the plate and Jake Meyers advancing to third.
Meyers went 1-for-4 to lead the Space Cowboys attack, while the Comets managed four hits to Space Cowboys' three—outshot but unable to break through.
Tyler Glasnow pitched 5.1 innings of one-run ball with nine strikeouts, a stellar outing wasted on the wrong side of a tight decision. Space Cowboys improved to 64-57; Comets fell to 68-52.
The Space Cowboys are losers of 4 straight, 4-6 over their last 10. The Comets are coming off a win, 5-5 over their last 10.
The Space Cowboys are up next at Aviators (Aug 27-29). The Comets are up next home vs Chihuahuas (Aug 27-29).
Ranked by win probability added: how far each player's plays moved this game's odds, not how their box-score line reads. A single with the bases loaded in the ninth outranks a home run in a blowout, because that is what actually decided it.
Runs by inning across the top, then every batter and pitcher underneath. The pills switch clubs; the totals column is each side’s own line, not a comparison.
