“He was very, very electric tonight with the fastball,” said Astros catcher Christian Vazquez, who only asked for two pitches this night, fastball and slider, adding, “I think that’s the best fastball right now in baseball.”“Shows you the best pitch is still the well-located fastball,” said Baker, after Bryce Harper and Brandon Marsh were the only Phillies batters to reach base against Javier, both on walks.
