It was the 28-year-old's first quality start in four outings this year, and he's given up just nine hits across 16 innings despite issuing nine walks. He'll carry a 3.38 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 16:9 K:BB into a home matchup with the Yankees next week.

It certainly worked out, and it gave Astros' fans flashbacks to 2022, when Javier threw six no-hit innings against the Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series. Javier pitched 12.2 innings that postseason and gave up just one run on two hits.
