Minute Maid Park West was not the place to be late Saturday evening for the Houston Astros. After giving up six runs over the final three innings to drop Game 1 of a doubleheader at Angel Stadium in Anaheim in which the Astros traditionally served as the road team, they were awarded “home team” status in the nightcap. It was the makeup from a game postponed in Houston on Aug. 26 due to the impending arrival of Hurricane Laura. The Astros flexed their muscles early but the bullpen once again could not protect a pair of leads. For the second time in less than four hours, the Angels scored three runs in the seventh inning for a comeback victory, though the teams were switched around on the scoreboard this time.
