HOUSTON — Astros ace Justin Verlander struck back Tuesday night.
The Houston star, hit hard and often by the Mariners 11 days earlier, was back to his typical self Tuesday night, and that was bad news for the Mariners.
Verlander allowed one run over seven innings and struck out 12, outdueling Chris Flexen and leading Houston to a 4-1 victory over the Mariners on Tuesday night at Minute Maid Park.
