For the first time in the 2023 MLB playoffs, both starters went at least six innings Sunday, as Jordan Montgomery and Justin Verlander kept the scoring low in Game 1 of the ALCS.
The Texas Rangers struck first Sunday, riding a gem from starter Jordan Montgomery to a 2-0 win and a 1-0 series lead over the Houston Astros in the ALCS.
After a scoreless first inning, Jonah Heim got the scoring started in the second with a one-out single to score Evan Carter for a 1-0 Rangers lead. Leody Taveras added an insurance run with a no-doubt solo home run off of Justin Verlander in the fifth to double the Texas lead to 2-0.They were the only two runs Verlander allowed in 6 2/3 innings. But they were enough, as Montgomery was outstanding through 6 1/3 shutout innings of his own.
The Astros opened the game with a pair of loud outs from José Altuve and Alex Bregman on deep fly balls to the warning track. Montgomery then struck out Yordan Álvarez to end the inning and was in a groove from there.
