Agrazal was punished for leaving a four-seamer down the middle on the Astros’ first swing of the game, but that George Springer dinger was the only time Houston touched home in his six innings of work. He allowed five hits and three walks, striking out three while inducing a pair of double plays.
Agrazal (1-0) was carried by his slider and sinker. Houston went 2-8 with a double against his sinking fastball and 1-6 on the breaking balls they put in play. He got four whiffs and six swinging strikes on 28 sliders, with a pair of those whiffs resulting in strikeouts.
