Hunter Brown vs Nathan Eovaldi for the series win at Daikin Park in the final game before the All-Star break.
Two superb pitching duels in a row. The Astros’ Framber Valdez outdueled Jacob DeGrom yesterday despite the supposedly invulnerable Astros high-leverage relief giving up two homers to send the game into extras. However, Bennet Sousa kept it close in extras, and offensive help, once again for the Astros from the “next-man-up” who is an unlikely major leaguer — this time Zack Short with the walk-off single in the eleventh.
Today, It’s All Star Hunter Brown vs. shoulda-been All Star Nathan Eovaldi in the rubber match.
