HOUSTON — Before Dusty Baker became manager of the Houston Astros. he heard that left-hander Framber Valdez had all the weapons, but just needed to get it all together and find the strike zone.
“Framber was doing a great job, so to be able to give him a comfortable lead that was huge for him to go out and just throw strikes and keep dominating,” Correa said.“His curveball has always been good," Baker said. “What his curveball does is it kind of peels the banana, which is a baseball term where he's sinking away his fastball and then his curveball he either back doors it or peels the banana on the inside part of the plate.
“He just couldn’t get it to the right spots," manager Joe Maddon said. “I mean they were all over everything, is the best way I could describe it. Try to get him to reboot a little bit and slow things down but it didn’t want to happen tonight, it just didn’t. They swung the bats extremely well against him.”
