How to Watch Philadelphia Phillies and Houston Astros Game Two: TV Channel, Streaming Links
After dropping the series opener Monday, the Houston Astros are scheduled to deploy Cy Young candidate Justin Verlander for his final start of the season Tuesday. The veteran enters the series 17-4 with a 1.80 ERA and 175 strikeouts on the year.
Countering Verlander, the Philadelphia Phillies are expected to start lefty Ranger Suárez. The 27-year-old has posted a 3.37 ERA behind 127 strikeouts and one of the best gloves in the National League.
Manager Dusty Baker noted he would start his regulars the last two series of the season, despite having already clinched the No. 1 seed in the American League. But the skipper added he was going to pull his starters after a couple at-bats.
After six innings Monday, José Altuve, Alex Bregman, Jeremy Peña and Martín Maldonado were replaced by Aledmys Díaz, Mauricio Dubón, David Hensley and Christian Vázquez, respectively. This trend will likely continue into Tuesday and Wednesday.
