In a three-game series with Lance McCullers, Ryan Gusto and Framber Valdez pitching, who woulda thunk Ryan Gusto would be the best starter? And who would predict Josh Hader would be the shakiest relief pitcher?
But Framber did manage to go five innings, allowing two runs on seven hits. a walk, and a frightening 12 Ks. And although Hader allowed a solo homer and a double tonight, he managed to hold down the White Sox enough to preserve the Astros’ 4-3 win and series victory.
Most of the Astros’ offensive damage was done with three runs in the their third inning.
