Astros vs Phillies Rubber Match | Houston Astros News

Baseball’s back in town, and the Astros face off against the Phillies in a high-stakes rubber match—Cristian Javier vs. Zack Wheeler. Javier’s on fire with 25 strikeouts in his last four starts, and the Astros have crushed the Phillies in five of their last six meetings, led by stellar pitching. Remember: these teams clashed twice in the playoffs, and Javier was part of that historic World Series no-hitter at this very ballpark—six current Phillies were there too. The Astros are riding a hot road streak and are undefeated when leading after eight innings. Plus, Jose Altuve just hit his 2,500th career hit, cementing his legacy. Can Javier keep rolling and help Houston steal this series? Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
