Samuel Aldegheri, the first Italian-born pitcher in MLB history to secure a win, had a challenging outing against the Astros, allowing four runs in two-plus innings and struggling with command, recorded five walks. Despite this setback, both Aldegheri and manager Ron Washington acknowledge that this performance is not indicative of his overall abilities. Aldegheri demonstrated his potential in a prior game against the Rangers, where he registered a 2.45 ERA with seven strikeouts. Washington also sees similarities between Aldegheri and established pitchers, emphasizing his understanding of pitching despite lacking the consistency during this outing.
