Facing Robbie Ray for the third game this season, the Astros continued to dominate the...
Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander tips his cap to the crowd as he was pulled by manager Dusty Baker Jr. after Seattle Mariners' Julio Rodriguez's RBI double during the eighth inning of an MLB baseball game at Minute Maid Park on Friday, July 29, 2022 in Houston.The Astros pulverized baseball after baseball and turned the Mariners to pulp.
Alex Bregman recorded three RBIs for the second day in a row against Seattle. The two men who directly preceded him in the batting order had fruitful games as well. Yuli Gurriel played just seven innings in the blowout and extended his hitting streak to three games with a 2-for-4 showing, while Yordan Alvarez went 3-for-3 with two walks and hit his 30th home run of the season.
Astros utilityman Aledmys Díaz bookended the scoring with two home runs. In the bottom of the second inning he went deep off Ray for a mammoth two-out solo homer, launched 401 feet to left field with a 107.9 mph exit velocity. While Verlander tossed two scoreless frames on an efficient 17 pitches — one highlight being when Martín Maldonado and Jose Altuve teamed to catch Julio Rodríguez stealing second base — Ray needed 51 pitches to cover two innings and his first trip through the Astros order. His third inning did not get any better.
