Astros’ Bats Breaks Out, Win 11-5 Over Diamondbacks

Fresh off a disappointing sweep by the hands of the Reds earlier in the week, I was honestly a little nervous entering this series against the Diamondbacks. For one, Arizona has one of the best lineups in baseball. It also doesn’t help matters that the Astros’ lineup wasn’t exactly clicking on all cylinders. That last game, in particular, saw Houston shut out with little life. To be fair, it is difficult to judge a lineup based on a single game, but the fact is that this team is short on above-average hitters. Especially in the bottom half of the batting order with no Kyle Tucker to help matters.
