Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. delivers to Oakland Athletics Ramon Laureano during the first inning of an MLB baseball game at Minute Maid Park on Thursday, Sept. 15, 2022 in Houston.With Lance McCullers Jr. pitching like his old self and Aledmys Díaz providing the game-winning home run, the Astros beat the A’s 5-2 on Thursday in the opener of a four-game series at Minute Maid Park.
McCullers departed the game with the score knotted at 2-2. In the seventh inning, Díaz, who started at second base while Jose Altuve got a day off, launched a two-run shot into the Crawford Boxes to give the Astros a lead they never surrendered. It is worth noting that McCullers’ accomplishments came against an A’s squad with the worst team batting average in the majors . But it is also worth noting that McCullers is exhibiting a climbing propensity for generating swing-and-misses along with improving endurance. Both are especially encouraging to see during his first month of major league pitching this year.
