The Astros brought Justin Verlander back just for games like this.
By now we know the own Globe Life Field. And they sure don’t mind these three-run head starts. In their 10-3 Game 4 win, Houston jumped out to an early lead for the second night in a row and weathered a comeback attempt by staying on the attack. Texas manager Bruce Bochy said before the game that starter could go 75 or 80 pitches if needed. He went 22 and was pulled after recording only two outs. The game began: double, Maurcio Dubón single, two-run triple, run-scoring single.
Given that context, it’s impressive Verlander held off the Rangers as well as he did in Game 1. He clearly wasn’t working with his best stuff. Expect Verlander to establish the elevated heater early in Game 5. Rangers: LHP Jordan Montgomery 2023 stats: 10-11, 3.20 ERA, 188 2/3 innings, 166 strikeouts, 1.19 WHIP Montgomery’s fastball-curve combo played so well in Game 1, particularly in neutralizing Yordan Alvarez, that the curve got the afterward and earned a new nickname: The Death Ball.
