The Texas Rangers scored two runs while the Houston Astros scored zero runs.
Hoo boy. How’s your cardiovascular doing?
Lest we forget, the last time these two teams met back in early September, the Astros scored an unfathomable 39 runs during a three-game sweep of the Rangers in what then appeared to be a spiral that the team would not pull out of. Well, here we are. The Rangers are a game up in the ALCS and the Astros are still looking for their first run.
In one of those ever more rare classic postseason pitching duels between starting pitchers, hired gun Jordan Montgomery and living October legend Justin Verlander battled it out and it was Texas’ lefty that came through with the more impressive performance to lead his team to a crucial Game 1 win.
