Thanks to a pretty good performance from their pitching and a four-run rally in the eleventh inning, the Astros defeated the Orioles 6-3 (11 innings) for the second time in a row to split the final series of the season against each other. Houston finished the regular season with a 51-30 record on the road, the highest wins mark since 2018 (57).
Starter Cristian Javier put up a pitching show on Sunday afternoon with another great performance to keep his unhittable pace during the final weeks of the campaign. Javier threw six scoreless innings, allowed only one hit, didn’t walk anybody, and struck out eight hitters.
