Series Recap: Astros @ Diamondbacks 05/04-05/06
So.. that happened.
Game 1- Cole vs Medlen
Gerrit Cole. Lord have mercy. In his first career shutout, Cole struck out a career high 16 batters allowing only one hit and one walk. He ended the night with three 99mph fastballs.
Like all of us, A.J Hinch barely had words for it: Wow. It's hard to describe. It's an incredible display of pitching.
And then the offense did exactly what it was supposed to do. The entire starting nine (minus Cole, but he gets a pass) got in on the action. Yuli Gurriel had a 4 hit, 3 RBI night, Carlos Correa had 2 hits & 3 RBI's including a 2 run double off of Medlen that barely stayed fair down the right field line. The Diamondbacks would challenge the hit to no avail.
