Not sure a total of two hits “cracked the Verlander code.”. Watch for Verlander to come back in game six and win the WS for the Astros.
2 hits is all Verlander gave up. Had they lost, it would have been the first time since the early 1960s a pitcher lost giving up only two hits in a WS.
Verlander did fine. Not sure of the pitch selection on the 1-2 count giving up that second home run. But he will do even better back in Houston.
Astros have been outstanding in post season at home. That’s why last night was so important.
I’m hoping for a 7-game series. No real ‘home team’ - just want to see more great baseball. But would like Houston to win it given the tough year the town has had.
