Astros vs. Cubs Game Highlights (4/25/24) | MLB Highlights

Javier Assad on the mound and what we’ve
seen out of jav in the early parts of
this season is really a continuation of
what we saw a year ago that is Success
throwing his Sinker hitter since the
start of last season hitting just 205
against that pitch and this season just
154 and it’s also a big reason why he’s
had so much success against
right-handers throws at about 70% of the
time that he throws at his two
right-handed hitters and they’re hitting
just 118 so if he can continue knew that
it’s going to be a good year for jav
aside so the Astros trying to combat
their first inning woes starting the day
leading the American League with a 350
batting average punches one toward
second on one hot field there by ho and
Altuve safe Altuve flying down the line
maybe about 30 ft per second as he beat
that throw by Herer tuve on the go on a
3-2 pitch and bregman hits in the right
Altuve will get to third this is Asos
baseball we’ve been waiting to see in
the first inning first third nobody out
now yordon Alvarez we mentioned a few
minutes ago with the rispy numbers
yordon just one run batted in his last
11 games but he’s going to have one here
he’ll drive one to the Gap in left field
it’s cut off but that’s a sack fly
bregman retreats to First Altuve scores
and the Astros on the board with a first
inning run good team baseball right
there the hustle got Altuve on base and
the third less than two outs and yordon
Alvarez found a nice little wrinkle and
a cutter up out over the
plate Fly ball right field tman charging
in and Mike makes the grab pretty good
job by aide to limit the damage just one
run scores the Cubs will come up to hit
trailing as we go to the bottom of the
first Justin Verlander on the mound for
the Astros second start of the Year
activated from the inist Friday at
Washington and he got the win giving up
two runs over six Innings after starting
the year on the Shelf with shoulder
inflammation on the ground and through
the left side and a base hit for Nico
hor as he jumps on that for seamer
that’s up B four well the Cubs have
their first two Runners on this one is
up B four second walk of the inning
Allowed by Verlander and that’ll load
the bases got him big strike out for
Verlander went upstairs and bus chased
it for a strike out one away the bases
remain loaded another big strike out JB
with the bases loaded striking out bus
and swans and now two
outs into center field duban is there
and Bur Works around B is loaded nobody
out the Astros fans here at Wrigley are
standing in appreciation of the future
Hall of fameer leading one nothing there
John Singleton now in there aside able
to get Singleton you love the the
sequence of pitches and then this two
seamer just runs away and a swing and a
miss aside backto back strike outs he
gets a one two three with Midway in the
second first batter he faces this inning
is Miguel Amaya and he gets him get some
waving it a pitch off the plate that’ll
be the third strike out for Verlander in
the first out here in the second all
fast ball so far to Crow Armstrong and
this is bat and he gets him swinging and
another fast ball Crow Armstrong checks
with the home played umpire Jansen
Visconti to see if that was a strike as
he goes down for the fourth berlander
strike out he strikes out the side
Justin berlander the 41-year-old
continues to roll with the Cs today five
of his six outs Jose Altuve standing in
the pitch now two B he swings here and
rips one left field Canario back up at
the wall and he makes the catch oh what
a grab Alexander Canario twisting and
turning and Hauling it in really nice
play here to take extra bases away from
Altuve here’s a
3-2 outside corner and Tucker didn’t
like it there’s two away targeted for
that outside edge Amaya sitting out
there presents it well for viscan and he
Rings them up two two
swing and a miss strike three foul
tipped into the glove Assad has retired
12 in a row we’ll see a 13th pitch
coming and with each foul ball the crowd
getting more and more into it maybe
working hard to try and figure out how
to put away the opposing catcher got him
the 13th pitch is the lucky one for
Verlander as he Strikes Out Amaya for
the second time what a battle six
strikeouts for JB we found a way to get
him fast ball inside kind of tailed
across the plate but tied up Maya and
finally got that swinging Miss he was
looking for got him strike three good
slider away Armstrong lunges for it and
they he’s the seventh strikeout victim
for Verlander Nico has singled and he is
doubled the only hits for the Cubs today
those two by
Herer on the ground through the left
side at a base hit Nico hoer is three
for three that’s a walk and that could
be it here comes Joe asata Justin
Verlander is not going to be able to get
through five today wanted it badly and
you know he doesn’t want to see Joe come
out here but Joe really has to be
concerned about Verlander for the season
he’s at 95 pitches new pitcher in the
ball game it’s going to be Rafael
Montero tough spot couple of Runners on
one out he got him Montero picks up a
big strike out getting the DH for out
number two Fly ball center field
shielding his eyes as Mauricio duban he
says he’s got it and he does and Justin
berlander goes four in a third shutout
Innings today the Astros still lead won
nothing at the end of five top of the
order it’ll be Altuve bregman and
Alvarez against Javier Assad who’s been
Sensational again today the
01 swansson shading his eyes Danby
that’s out number one Astros still don’t
have a hit since the second batter of
the game bregman with a hit to right
field with Altuve running since then
Assad has retired everybody else with
the exception of a walk to John
Singleton with one out in the fifth
fragman Flo fls one Beyond first the
second baseman hoer can’t get there hit
number 1,000 for Alex bregman the 14th
asro to reach 1,000 hits in his career a
little flare alluding both horer and
Michael bus congratulations to Alex Bren
getting to that thousand hit
Plateau ground ball Fair ball knocked
down by Bush Tucker is going to reach
rman to second base Astros have a couple
of Runners on with two outs GRE Council
out of the DU out and we’ve got a
pitching change still though more good
work from Javier aside rapael Montero
back to work it’ll be Swanson madal and
Amaya and that’s a base hit back up the
middle Danby with his first hit of the
day pitch inside Runner takes off and
there’s the stolen
base off the glove redirects out Tu
everybody safe and Ricochet off of
mono’s glove and and the Cubs are in
business men at the corners no one out
last of the sixth inning it’s the Astros
with a one- nothing lead Miguel Amayo
will stand in runner goes hit in the air
to shallow right angling toward the line
Tucker he slides it drops in a base hit
coming in to score is Swanson throw a
second and they nail madal with the
force but the Run comes in Tye ball game
now let’s see if P Crow Armstrong can do
a little something here get the Cubs
back in the lead
in the air right field Tucker going back
turning and looking first big leag Homer
for Pete Crow Armstrong and it gives the
Cubs the lead his first big league hit
396 ft congratulations to pet Crow
Armstrong a big swing of the bat for the
Cubs to give the Cubs the lead Joe a
spot is going to get tossed seemed
rather calm coming out of the Dugout but
Jansen vcon was the one who was upset he
was the one doing the yelling Joe just
kind of calmly walked out there I think
Joe’s seen enough in this stretch of
losing seven out of eight games and in
trouble here down 3-1 in the ninth I’m
not sure what precipitated that Hector n
is the new man on the mound being asked
to close this one out so two away men at
the corners for the Astros and it’ll
bring up John
Singleton on the ground to First Bush
nice play ball game Cubs win nerys
closes it out and the cub sweep the
Astros
