Benetti just said that the 5 hardest hit balls in the game were from Sox hitters, and that was before Jimenez lined out. 

The 5 hardest hit of the game, yeah. That doesn't necessarily mean those 5 had extremely high EV. There haven't been many hard hit balls all night for either team. Houser is simply pitching his nuts off

Any time I ve seen them take the 1st pitch I know at least 2 that looked low were called strikes. That doesn't help when the ump is giving a sinkerballer the extra low strikes.

Correct, but it goes both ways because Keuchel is a sinkerballer too.

They've all been >100 MPH. Problem is they're mostly beat into the ground

He's throwing strikes and the ump is giving an extra low strike zone. Two sinkerballers makes for a pitchers duel. You can't win if you don't score. Keuchel has been good.
