That's right, J V. He's not just visiting, he's Justin Verlander. He will take the ball for the Houston Astros today at 13:10 central daylight when they host Jeff Samardzija and the San Francisco Giants at Minute Maid Park deep in the heart of Texas....
Verlander goes six, yields one run, raising his ERA from 1.05 to 1.08.

I'm in the eastern cell phone lot at Lambert International, listening to the HotCut via LTE and the MLB AtBat app. Altuve takes a bag, his fourth of the year. The Astros took a 3-1 lead moments ago on a Springer two-run shot. Correa breaks his bat but the looper lands in left-center. Altuve scores. Correa has 32 RBI; the Astros lead 4-1; the Shark is being lifted from the pool.Text Message to Ya:
Samardzija with five walks. He isn't right, not yet. He wasn't walking guys last year at all.
Cell Lot Memories
I got here—the airport—unnecessarily early. Car thermo shows 87°. Hugo is in the backseat. I've got the engine running, a real bad use of gasoline. I've drained a car battery here before, waiting to pick up my brother. I had to go to the taxi stand to find a cabbie who would come give me a jump. I'm not taking any chances today. MarWin flies out, his struggles continue. The 'Cut heads to the sixth.
Ver-y Good
Verlander fans Gorkys and passes Christy Mathewson on baseball's list of career leaders in strikeouts. The Ver now has 2,508 career strikeouts, putting him 32nd on the all-time list. Sitting at 31 with 2,513 is A.J. Burnett. Huh? Alongside the Astros radio crew I am surprised by that. In the 30th spot with 2,536 is Javier Vázquez.Verlander goes six, yields one run, raising his ERA from 1.05 to 1.08.
