Yesterday afternoon’s meeting between the Houston Astros and the Oakland Athletics featured a history-making performance from Astros starter Framber Valdez. The contest marked Valdez’s 25th consecutive quality start of his 2022 Major League Baseball campaign, besting the single-season record forged by Jacob deGrom back in 2018. Furthermore, Valdez’s six-inning, seven-strikeout performance was enough to ensure his Astros an 11-2 victory.
