The killing machine that is the Washington Nationals rolls into H-town and puts down the heavily favored Astros. Soto was “so” money, and Max Scherzer showed maximum cojones by getting through 5 and giving up only 2 on a night when he definitely did not have his best stuff. Stros must be a bit miffed, with their little big man coming up so small with men in scoring position, and stopper Cole looking quite mortal. The fact is that the Nats have more lefty hitting than people give them credit for and this could be quite problematic for a Houston staff that is noticeably right wing. #Nationals #Astros
