Hunter Brown wants to be a Cy Young winner -- just like the pitchers he grew up watching.
Houston's star pitcher shined during his Motown homecoming, as returning home inspires memories of former Detroit hurlers.
With a tantalizing pitching matchup of young aces like Hunter Brown of the Astros and Tarik Skubal of the Tigers, it’s not surprising runs were hard to come by Tuesday night. For Houston, it’s becoming all too commonplace.
They are two of the best starting pitchers in baseball. Two All Stars. Two Cy Young candidates sharing the mound.
Hunter Brown allowed only a run in 6 2/3 innings for his 10th victory, Jeremy Peña and Yainer Diaz homered and the Houston Astros beat the Boston Red Sox 4-1 on Wednesday night.
Brown is prepping for his latest Detroit homecoming. Friends and family will fill the stands. And something about this one feels different.
