- Houston Astros ace Justin Verlander has fallen short of his lofty standards on baseball’s biggest stage but can change that narrative when he pitches in a potential World Series clincher on Tuesday.
The Astros have since roared back, taking the next three games in Washington, giving Houston two chances at home to secure their second championship in three seasons. It will be Verlander who tries to seal the deal in Game 6 while seeking his first career win in a World Series. On the same night last week when Verlander became MLB’s all-time leader in postseason strikeouts, the 36-year-old also added his name to the record books as the first pitcher to lose his first five World Series decisions.
Verlander, an eight-time All-Star and former Cy Young Award winner as the American League’s best pitcher, has all the confidence of his teammates going into the Game 6 clash.
