Phillies vs Astros Pitcher's Duel | Houston Astros News

The Phillies and Astros are locked in a tense battle, with Houston taking Game 2 by a slim six to five margin thanks to a four-run second inning. Trea Turner delivered for Philly with a homer and two RBIs, but it wasn’t enough. Tonight’s showdown promises a pitcher’s duel: Cristopher Sánchez (2.58 ERA) faces Hunter Brown (3.31 ERA). Philly, at 81-64, has been in tight games lately, while the Astros, 74-71 and winners of four of five away games, look to extend their road success. On offense, Alec Bohm’s 12-game hitting streak and Kyle Schwarber’s three homers in four games heat up Philly’s bats, while Houston’s Isaac Paredes keeps rolling with a 15-game hit streak. First pitch is at 6:40 PM ET at Citizens Bank Park — can Sánchez keep his magic alive and help Philly even the series?
