Nice quick inning for Taylor. These kind of appearances are a lot more important in this 60 game season.
1 of 60. Congrats Dusty. Let's do it again tomorrow. Behind six solid innings from Verlander and a three-run homer by Brantley, the Astros beat the Mariners, 8-2, for their eighth Opening Day win a row. They've yet to lose an Opening Day game as a member of the AL. Oh, and they've won 19 of last 20 against Seattle. That was Dusty Baker's 3,500th big league game as manager.
