On Saturday night, Zack Greinke gave the Astros everything they could have asked for. Against the first-place Mariners, he pitched like an ace and the legend he is. Thanks to a wonderful job on the mound by the veteran righty, Houston snapped a six-game losing streak and defeated Seattle 1-0.
From his first pitch to his last one, Greinke looked like he did in his prime. He went eight scoreless innings of four singles, no walks, and six strikeouts with 91 pitches (62 strikes). What a way to vindicate himself after a rough outing against Detroit. It was the longest outing by any Astros’ starter this year.
