Tuesday was Peanuts Night at Daikin Park, celebrating the 75th anniversary of the longtime comic strip, and the Astros got into the festivities. For most of the afternoon leading up to the game, the giant video board showed a rotating graphic of Charlie Brown throwing a pitch and Snoopy hitting it deep.
Come game time, Kerry Carpenter took it to heart, but only after he unsuccessfully argued that Astros starter Ryan Gusto’s curveball had hit him on the back foot. Manager A.J. Hinch was ready to challenge, but the Tigers’ dugout couldn’t bring up a replay of the pitch before the time ran out.
