For the second straight night, the Astros had a superior performance from their starting pitcher, this time the Astros would squander it.
Framber Valdez got back on track on Tuesday night, striking out five batters, walking zero, and inducing a whopping thirteen groundouts in 7 2⁄3 innings. However, in the first inning it appeared he was going to have another bad outing, but some great defense helped him start the game off well, and he wouldn’t look back.

Both starters pitched well, especially in the early going.
