A few days ago, the Houston Astros’ offense appeared as frozen and stiff as the crisp Minnesota air. A migration South of the Border seems to have reinvigorated the Astros’ bats, which provided the muscle in a 10-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels Sunday afternoon and completed a convincing sweep of the two-game Mexico Series.
On Saturday, the Astros slugged five homers, 10 extra-base hits, and posted 14 runs. The Astros offense treated Angels’ pitchers like piñatas again on Cinco de Mayo, mashing three more longballs and four doubles to produce another double-digit scoring output.
The afternoon didn’t start as good as it ended Sunday, however.
