HOUSTON — Deep in the heart of Texas, the Houston Astros are showing the baseball world what a metamorphosis looks like.
They certainly showed the Rockies at Minute Maid Park, utilizing a potent start by ace left-hander Dallas Keuchel and a potent bat by athletic right fielder George Springer to notch a 6-3 victory Monday night.
Houston lost 111 games in 2013 and 92 last year. But with their victory Monday, the young, talented Astros improved to 37-28 and remain in control of the American League Central.
The Rockies had hoped to get a bounce-back start from Chad Bettis, but that didn't happen.
