Verlander Regression? Who say dat?
Coming back from several recent poor starts, Justin Verlander silenced doubters with seven strong innings with 10 strikeouts. Just one blemish, a two run homer to Omar Narvaez in the sixth inning. Great job Justin.
Unfortunately that tied the game with the only Astros runs to that point coming from a Jose Altuve 417 foot two run bomb in the fifth.
That’s ok, we got the bats, and we got the pen, right?
Chris Devenski, (1.57 ERA), shutdown relief ace, came in to keep the Sox down and set up the Stros bats.
