Hunter Brown looked great, the Astros looked great, and they finally got a win after losing the first two of a three-game series against the Twins. This time, on Sunday afternoon, they won 5-1 thanks to a strong showing from Brown and a stellar offensive performance by Chas McCormick.
To get his first win of the season, Brown went seven sharp innings of two hits and one unearned run while allowing two walks and striking out seven hitters. He lowered his ERA to 3.09 and threw under 100 pitches (97). It was the longest outing of his young MLB career.
