J.P. France passed the time during the lengthy rain delay playing cards and taking a beating.
Once he stepped on the mound, he got the results he wanted. And he came away with his first major league win.
France said he took a few beatings at cards from pitcher Austin Davis at Triple-A Sugar Land and always seemed to pitch well afterward. Kyle Tucker walked and scored in the fourth. He also got Houston’s first hit when he chased Chicago starter Michael Kopech with an RBI double in the fifth, making it 2-1.
Teammates showered him with a cold mixture of “a lot of different stuff” that he thought included beer and soap after his first win.
