Imagine, another Astros game that started out a pitcher’s duel. We haven’t seen that much this year. Or have we?
Well, probably not against the Blue Jays. Oh yeah. Yesterday.
This game between Astros pitcher Framber Valdez and Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman was scoreless through five innings. In fact, Valdez had a no-hitter going into the sixth inning, who through five had faced the minimum number of hitters.
The Astros broke through first when Chas McCormick tripled with one out in the sixth and scored on a two-out Aledmys Diaz single. McCormick’s hit missed being a homer by six inches.
