In what was a low-scoring game, the Astros came out with the best part. On Sunday afternoon, they finally defeated the Orioles –this time with a 3-1 score— after losing the first two contests of the series. Yuli Gurriel had a clutch two-run single while Alex Bregman delivered a solo blast to give the Astros the W. On a negative note, Justin Verlander had to leave his start due to what the team called “discomfort” in his right calf.
The game began as a pitcher’s duel between Verlander and also righty Austin Voth. Verlander hung three zeroes, allowed three hits, walked one, and struck out six before coming out of the game.
