It was a pitcher’s duel tonight. The best offense in the American League against the best offense in the National League. And it was a pitcher’s duel tonight.
And to make it even more amazing both teams had rookies to start the game. For the Dodgers it was Dustin May, who in 2019 had only 34 innings pitched in the majors.
The Astros were even more desperate. Their starter, Cristian Javier, had only one major league inning under his belt prior to tonight; only 11 at AAA last year.
In 13 innings, the Astros used rookies to cover 11 of them.
