RHP Chris Devenski (0-2, 1.72 ERA, 1.09 WHIP) vs. RHP Sean O'Sullivan (1-0, 6.43 ERA, 2.00 WHIP)
Preview
Like many times this season the Astros have to turn the page after a tough loss. A tough loss doesn't seem to justify Saturday's game that included a blown save, an extra innings loss, wasted Carlos Correa and George Springer home runs, and a David Ortiz love fest. But Sunday is a another day.
Chris Devenski may be exactly what the Astros need on Sunday. The league has yet to figure out the rookie. Devenski has continued to prove he belongs in the Astros starting rotation. Devenski has a 0-2 record with a 2.55 ERA as a starter. Devenski pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings of relief against Boston.
Current Red Sox are batting .350 (7x20) against Chris Devenski with a .412 BABIP, 1.74 FIP, 15.0 K%, and a 0.0 BB%.
