Verlander to start AL Division Series opener for Astros

Justin Verlander will start Game 1 of the American League Division Series for the Houston Astros

OCTOBER 8, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Justin Verlander - Confirmed as Game 1 starter Verlander will start Game 1 of the ALDS against the Mariners or Blue Jays on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact There was little doubt Verlander would earn the honor, as he rebounded from Tommy John surgery to record a 1.75 ERA in 28 starts this season, likely earning him a Cy Young. His 3.40 lifetime ERA in the postseason doesn't trail his career 3.24 regular-season ERA by much, though he owns a mediocre 4.27 ERA over his last nine playoff starts dating back to 2018.

Impact McCormick entered the game off the bench and delivered an RBI double and a run scored in the third inning. He split time with Jake Meyers to close the season but should be the primary center fielder for Houston's postseason run. McCormick had an inconsistent season but managed 14 home runs and four stolen bases while maintaining a .245 line across 407 plate appearances.

Christian Vázquez - Homers in win Vazquez went 1-for-1 with a solo homer in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.

Impact Vazquez entered the game in the sixth inning and crushed a solo home run in the seventh to extend the Astros' lead to 3-0. It was a nice finish to the regular season for Vazquez, who came into the game hitting just .161 since the start of September. It was also his first home run since July 22.
