After eking out a one-run win last night, the Astros pummelled the Marlins mercilessly tonight, piling 13 hits and nine runs on top of one of Framber Valdez’s best performances of the year.
Valdez finished seven innings, allowing only one run on six hits, and one walk, accruing a season-high 10 strikeouts.
Here’s how Gameday recorded Valdez’s sixth inning.

Meanwhile, every starter except one had at least one hit, and just when you thought Joey Loperfido was in over his head in the bigs, he had his best night as an Astro; a two-run homer, a triple, two RBI, and two runs scored.
