After a slugfest in game one of the series, the Astros come back for game two in a pitchers duel that includes two arms that have chances to be All-Stars. This matchup comes after the crazy 14-11 Astros win on Friday that saw 32 hits, five home runs and a solid start from a kid drafted less than a year ago.
Ronel Blanco has been the saving grace for the ‘Stros this year on the mound, pitching to the tune of a 2.43 ERA in 13 starts. He’s coming off an outing in Detroit on June 11th where he threw seven not-hit innings while striking out eight.
