Both the 2001 Diamondbacks that ended the last dynasty (Yankees) and the 2022 Astros missed several scoring opportunities, but Justin Verlander was able to win nonetheless while the Big Unit was dominant in Mile High until he 6th inning.
The Astros left bases loaded in the 2nd and 3rd inning and both Jeremy Pena and Yuli Gurriel sent deep drives to the wall, but Jose Altuves 2-run Homer was enough. Justin Verlander allowed on 2 hits and a walk through innings and Bryan Abreu, who in the game has a better card than actual closer Ryan Pressly, wrapped it up.
2007 Colorado 4, 2001 Arizona 2
In Colorado, Randy Johnson, the Big Unit, was spectacular for five innings, allowing only 1 base runner though it was a homer to take a 2-1 lead into the 6th.
However the Rockies put together town singles to start the 6th, then Willie Tavares relatively easy to field.grounder got past second baseman Jay Bell due to his weak Clutch Defense 2 rating, and after the speedy Taveras stole second the Rockies were on their way to a 3-run inning and 4-2 win.
