ASTROS WIN: Cristian Javier threw six shutout innings and Jake Meyers had two hits in the Houston Astros’ 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night.
It’s the 103rd victory for the American League-leading Astros. They are tied with the 2018 team for second-most wins in franchise history behind the 107 piled up in 2019.
“He was real good,” manager Dusty Baker said. “He was locating his fastball, threw in a couple different sliders, threw more changeups and Maldy directed him great through the game. I don’t think he shook him off all night that I saw. Boy, he was very good.” Jake Meyers, who had two hits, got things going with a single to start Houston’s third and he advanced to second on a wild pitch by Shane McClanahan. Meyers moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by Maldonado before Jose Altuve walked.
