The Seattle Mariners and Houston Astros continue their crucial three-game series at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday night. With both teams vying for a playoff spot, the matchup features a stellar pitching duel between Framber Valdez and Logan Gilbert.
Framber Valdez vs. Logan Gilbert is a marquee pitching matchup at any moment, but with both teams in the thick of the AL playoff race , there's an added layer of tension. The Astros lefty holds the advantage at home, though.
