Well, that was a fun game to watch, wasn’t it? It felt refreshing for a change not to worry much about a game on a relaxful Saturday evening. Hunter Brown pitched quite well and the offense put on arguably its best showing of the season, even if five of those runs occurred with a backup catcher on the mound. Hey, it still counts.
With rumors swirling about the Astros exploring a possible reunion with Justin Verlander, Brown did his best impression of his former teammate, throwing six innings of two-run ball. The rookie right-hander allowed four hits and two walks while striking out four.
