Another game, another bad outing from Justin Verlander. At least this time, the team’s offence could back it up. Meanwhile, others around the league are winning and losing and helping Houston make the postseason.
Let’s see what happened around the league on today’s Magic Number Counter.
Houston Astros (84-70): 9, Los Angeles Angles (62-92): 7
Despite another bad performance from Verlander, the offence came out and banged for him, helping him get the win despite the runs he gave up.
The scoring started in the bottom of the second with a sac fly to give the Astros the lead, before the Angles got a run of their own to tie it the next inning.
