Framber outduels Ohtani and pitches Astros to 6-2 victory over Angels

On Friday night, we enjoyed a pitching duel for the ages between Framber Valdez and Shohei Ohtani. The Astros’ starting pitcher delivered a masterful performance to give the Astros a 6-2 win against the Angels to got their second victory in the four-game series.

Framber absolutely outpitched Ohtani and kept his brilliant hot streak. After allowing only eight hits and one run over his last 15 innings, the southpaw threw seven scoreless tonight, surrendering five hits, walking one, and punching out seven.
