Series Thread: ALDS - M's at Houston

[Msfann]

24 pitches for verlander in the 1st. Hopefully the Mariners can keep that trend up.

So far so good! He's got to be around 50 pitches after 2.

 

[Podunkparte]

This just became a "do anything you need to win" game. 4 in 2 innings off Verlander is an absolute gift.

 

[DHoey]

Couldn't ask for a better start.

That was a cannon, but with 2 outs you make him make a play. He did. Still got 2 more runs and Verlander probably has 1 more inning in him
