After a three-game skid with the Orioles at home, the Houston Astros‘ found their bats up north against the Cleveland Indians. With a 7-2 victory over their 2018 ALDS foes, Michael Brantley reminded his former employer that they made the wrong decision of not re-signing him. The left-hander went 3-for-5 with a home run.
Off the rubber, it shouldn’t be a debate that the Astros’ best starter is Framber Valdez.
