It’s about time we Astros fans —and MLB — started to take J.P. France seriously. Tonight he went seven innings without allowing an earned run against a team that scored 20 runs against the Astros in the last two games between these two teams. The Rangers lead the majors in wRC+, and runs scored. But against France, they looked lame.
The Astros scored first on Rangers opener Yerry Rodriguez thanks to an RBI double by — who else — Chas McCormick and a sacrifice fly by Corey Julks.
Guy’s name is Chas.
