VIDEO: Zack Greinke Dominated Charlie Blackmon Like it Was Nothing to Open Astros Career

Zack Greinke has dominated the NL West all season, and it just so happens that the Rockies followed him to Houston for his first start. How did he thank them? By striking out one of Colorado's best hitters on three pitches.

Greinke made Charlie Blackmon look foolish in his first start since joining the Astros at the trade deadline. He is not throwing hard, but his ability to locate pitches freezes the hitter here.

This is exactly what Houston acquired the veteran to do. He's able to dominate hitters consistently, and his presence in the Astros' rotation makes for a dominant starting group.

The Astros are among the favorites for the World Series thanks in no small part to Greinke. In case you couldn't recall why, enjoy this swift and easy evisceration.
