Yeah, they’re still playing baseball. Seems like there ought to be a hangover, and maybe a vacation, after yesterday’s thrilling and historic no-hit victory by Justin Verlander. Not to mention the ninth inning heroics by rookie Abraham Toro, whose ninth inning homer made Verlander’s achievement possible.
Verlander’s quote, “Where the f*** is Toro” is now and forever a part of Astros lore.
But there’s a game today, the third straight day game for the Astros. and the Stros have another fine pitcher throwing, Gerrit Cole, (15-5, 2.85 ERA) who is still in the thick of the Cy Young race.
