Yainer Diaz’s three-run homer backs Ronel’s eight-inning, two hit masterpiece.

It’s darkest right before the dawn.

It was a dark and stormy night last night, watching the once great Lance McCullers suffer shellshock in his second outing after his two-year hiatus. If the possibility that this Astros legend’s career was over after yesterday’s performance didn’t at least cross your mind, then you’re not thinking.

On the other hand, today, hope was...
