ANAHEIM, Calif. — Dusty Baker was booed, even though the Astros' current manager had nothing to do with the 2017-18 Astros.Astros trainers and barely known staff members were showered with the same echoing negativity on a night that was supposed to be devoted to Shohei Ohtani and instead ended just like the 2021 American League Division and Championship Series.
Even when it got rough or went bad for the Astros inside Angel Stadium, the road team survived and Houston's Major League Baseball club persevered yet again. Valdez was fantastic: 6 2/3 innings, two hits, zero runs, one walk, six strikeouts and mounting confidence.'s throwing error in the seventh and Yordan Alvarez's non-error in left field that almost led to a 3-3 tie in the eighth.
After nine innings, the Astros doubled the Angels in hits, only gave up a single run, handed Valdez a victory ... and made all the pre- and in-game booing sound silly when"It's awesome. We all enjoy Opening Day so much," said Alex Bregman, who paired with Alvarez to launch back-to-back homers in the eighth."It's just a fun atmosphere across the country. ... I think our guys did a good job of being excited and enjoying it.
