"The scoring started quickly. In the top of the first, Yordan Alvarez ripped a double to rightbefore Christian Walker singled that way to put the Houston Astros up 1-0. Matt Olson, not content to have another first baseman upstage him, slammed a majestic shot to right field to tie it up a half-inning later. Your browser does not support the video tag."
"Wentz made it 4 innings, throwing 93 pitches while striking out 5 and walking 1. In general, I thought he looked pretty good stuff-wise, but it seemed to always take him a bit to finally put batters away. The most notable ... change was his use of the change-up. Having thrown it around 1% of the time coming into the game, Wentz threw it 14 times. He only got one whiff on it, but tinkering with that might've been a reason he wasn't terribly efficient."
Yordan Alvarez opened the scoring with a double, and Christian Walker followed with a single to put the Astros up 1-0. Matt Olson answered with a long right-field home run to tie the game. Atlanta took the lead after Ha-seong Kim reached on an infield single, Marcell Ozuna walked, Michael Harris hit an RBI sacrifice fly, and Mauricio Dubon's error allowed an additional run. Jake Meyers and Yainer Díaz added insurance with a steal and subsequent single. Joey Wentz worked four innings, striking out five while experimenting with increased change-up usage, and Framber Valdez also exited early after struggling with walks and run support.
