Game Preview
Veteran Houston catcher Martin Maldonado had no issue acknowledging that the Astros’ play over the weekend against Seattle was unacceptable and that an impromptu team meeting was held after the Mariners’ three-game sweep.
What the Astros sought against the Mariners they manifested in a 7-3 victory over the visiting Boston Red Sox on Tuesday, a win that earned at minimum a split of the four-game series after a 9-4 win on Monday. The teams will meet again on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Houston received a strong pitching performance from veteran right-hander Justin Verlander, production from up and down the lineup and a relatively clean defensive effort save for a sixth-inning error that didn’t prove costly.
