If you like baseball games with loads of good plays, good pitching, and few runs, this one was your kind of game. On Wednesday, the Astros and Mets played a great contest in which Houston came out with the win 2-0 thanks to a ninth-inning home run by catcher Jason Castro. Just like it happened earlier in June, the ‘Stros swept the Metropolitans in a two-game series.
From the beginning to the end, it was a pitching duel between Justin Verlander and Taijuan Walker, both went beyond the seventh inning and didn’t allow any runs. In fact, Verlander surrendered the two hits registered by New York.
