Sharp Verlander and Castro’s 1st homer help Astros sweep Mets AGAIN!
If you like baseball games with loads of good plays, good pitching, and few runs, this one was your kind of game. On Wednesday, the Astros and Mets played a great contest in which Houston came out with the win 2-0 thanks to a ninth-inning home run by catcher Jason Castro. Just like it happened earlier in June, the ‘Stros swept the Metropolitans in a two-game series.
From the beginning to the end, it was a pitching duel between Justin Verlander and Taijuan Walker, both went beyond the seventh inning and didn’t allow any runs. In fact, Verlander surrendered the two hits registered by New York. The veteran righty outpitched Walker to pick up his MLB-leading 10th victory of the campaign.
