Verlander returns to playoffs as Astros host Seattle in ALDS
Verlander, who missed almost two seasons after Tommy John surgery, will look to build on his remarkable comeback season when he leads Houston into the postseason in the opener of the best-of-five series.
The 39-year-old Verlander led the AL with 18 wins, and his MLB-leading 1.75 ERA is the lowest for an AL qualified pitcher in a full season since Pedro Martinez’s 1.74 ERA in 2000. “He’s just amazing the way he pitched, the way he came back from injury,” Altuve said. “He’s the right guy to have out there in Game 1… we all know he’s going to go out there and be him.”
Rodríguez hit .284 with 28 homers and 25 stolen bases in the regular season, but has just one hit in the playoffs. Peña hit .289 with 22 homers and 63 RBIs this season after taking over for Correa, who starred at shortstop in Houston for the previous seven years. Correa embraced the spotlight perhaps more than any Astro in recent history, piling up 18 homers and 59 RBIs in 79 career playoff games.
