Wow, what a game.
After what looked to be another offenseive struggle at home the Astros would turn it on late and absolutely annihilate Angels pitching for the second consecutive game. This game would mark the 4th straight 10+ run game given up by Angels’ pitching, a new club record for them.
This all came after what looked like it was going to be a pitcher’s duel as Verlander and the talented rookie Jaime Barria were able to keep runners mostly off the bases through the opening frames. Both pitchers looked to be in control and so did the first arms out of the bullpens before the fireworks started in the 8th.
