The Bears were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Rockets apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in April of 2025.
As for Irvin, they have been performing well recently as they've won seven of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-7-1 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.2 runs over those games.
For Irvin's part, Anthony Badajosa made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). Badajosa also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Irvin is 5-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 5-6-1 otherwise. Badajosa was also big at the plate, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one triple, and one double.
