HOUSTON – One “disastrous” inning against the Houston Astros back in 2017 was enough to ruin Michael Bolsinger’s career, according to a lawsuit he recently filed against the ball club.
Seeking more than $1 million in damages, Bolsinger filed suit against the Astros on May 13 in Harris County District Court.
According to his lawsuit, the Astros’ alleged “malicious conduct” finds its origins in the massive debt used to acquire the team in 2011, as the team was motivated to pay down the debt.
Bolsinger was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2010. On July 3, 2017, he was called up the Toronto Blue Jays. On Aug. 4, 2017, he pitched a third of inning against the Astros and gave up four runs “due to the sign stealing scheme.”
