On the pitching front, Hunter Brown's mastery on the mound cannot be overlooked.

His strikeout rate per nine innings stands at 9.0, a testament to his precision and power.


The Diamondbacks counter with their own set of aces, including Eugenio Suárez who has made significant contributions with his bat. Suárez's performance, highlighted by a .667 batting average in one of the previous games, positions him as a critical threat that the Astros must strategically manage.
