CLEVELAND (AP) Justin Verlander pitched six scoreless innings for his MLB-leading 15th victory, Chas McCormick and Martin Maldonado each homered and had three RBIs, and the AL West-leading Houston Astros beat the Cleveland Guardians 6-0 Thursday night.
The scoring rules clearly specify the criteria for a starting pitcher to be awarded a victory:
1. He must complete at least 5 full innings
2. He must exit with his team leading, or his team must.
