News and Notes - Extra Inning Success Behind Strong Starting Pitching

The Cleveland Guardians faced the Houston Astros in the 2nd game of the 3-game series. It was a fun game.

Triston McKenzie took the mound Wednesday night against the Houston Astros, matching up against 41-year-old, future hall of famer Justin Verlander. Triston started the game strong, going 3.1 innings before giving up a hit to the blossoming Astros offense. The bottom of the 3rd gave McKenzie some trouble with Loperfido and Dubón on 1st and 2nd. Another defensive gem was generated from Rocchio and Giménez as they turned a 6-4-3 double play to end the inning, helping McKenzie out of a sticky situation.
