The Houston Astros and their ace – Justin Verlander – are in postseason form. 

Verlander threw five scoreless innings, striking out 10 without allowing a hit as Houston blanked the Philadelphia Phillies 10-0 Tuesday night.

Astros manager Dusty Baker pulled Verlander after 77 pitches, allowing his bullpen to complete the shutout. The bullpen did not allow a hit until the ninth inning, ending Houston’s bid for a combined no-hitter.

In his final regular-season start, Verlander put the finishing touches on his bid to become a three-time CY Young winner, completing a dazzling regular season after missing the entire 2021 season with an injury. 

"To me, this is maybe not what was supposed to happen, but what I expected to happen," Verlander said. "I didn't know exactly how good the season would be, but I thought I would be me when I'm healthy, which is usually pretty good."

With the win, Verlander finishes the regular season with a record of 18-4 (the most wins in the American League) and an ERA of 1.75 (the lowest ERA in Major League Baseball). It is the lowest ERA of Verlander’s career, topping his ERA in 2011 when he won his first CY Young award.
