The Dr. Jekyl version of Framber Valdez showed up tonight, and it behooves the Astros to take advantage of the appearance of good Framber when he happens to emerge.
Valdez only allowed one unearned run in six innings, leaving the game with a 2-1 lead. But the Astros failed to score another run, and his relief gave the Rangers an easy 6-2 win. If the Astros can’t win for good Framber, how do they expect to win when Mr. Hyde shows up?
The Astros started the scoring off starter Dane Dunning with a lead-off solo home run by Yordan Alvarez in the second inning.
