It was a pitching duel between two ace pitchers and fellow 2023 champions. One won the Cy Young award last year, the other was fifth in the balloting. Tonight, the one who came in fifth was the better pitcher.
The Astros started by putting up a three-spot in the third inning against Mets starter Justin Verlander. Corey Julks led off with a double to right field, who scored on a Jose Altuve sac fly. Altuve scored on an Alex Bregman homer, his 10th.
