The Astros finally got on the board with one unearned run in the fifth on a wild pitch. Valdez went one more scoreless inning, going six against his former team. He struck out six. The 32-year-old left-hander will take a 4.09 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and a 67/32 K/BB ratio across 83 2/3 innings into a start against the Yankees in Houston next Tuesday.
