Veteran right-hander blanks Guardians for six innings in shutout win for Astros
CLEVELAND — Justin Verlander pitched six scoreless innings for his MLB-leading 15th victory, Chas McCormick and Martin Maldonado each homered and had three RBIs, and the AL West-leading Houston Astros beat the Guardians 6-0 Thursday night.
In addition to leading the majors in wins, Verlander leads with a 1.73 ERA. The right-hander is 11-16 in his career at Progressive Field, where his 5.17 ERA is the highest of any ballpark that he has pitched in more than twice. McCormick gave the Astros a 2-0 lead with run-scoring singles in the third and fifth off Guardians starter Zach Plesac . Maldonado added a two-run double in the fifth against Nick Sandlin to make it 4-0.
The Guardians entered the day one game behind AL Central leader Minnesota and one game out of the final wild-card spot. Steven Kwan, Josh Naylor and Austin Hedges accounted for their hits in the loss.
