Cristian Javier Ices Mariners as Astros Take Game 2, 2-0.

In his fourth start of the year, Cristian Javier completed seven innings of scoreless ball as the Astros offense provided just enough support to give the Astros a 2-0 win.

For Javier it is his 17 straight inning without allowing a run, and the longest outing of his career.

Although Javier was not as sharp with his control as in more recent starts, his swing and miss stuff held the Mariners scoreless. He only threw 60 strikes out of 107 total pitches and walked three. He got a first strike on only 11 of the 24 batters he faced.
