It’s been a roller coaster ride since we last checked in. The Astros started this period sweeping the Seattle Mariners, then won one more in Arlington to extend a 10 game win streak, and since then have lost 4 of 6 games. So since the last article they are 6-4. After the Seattle series the Astros split a two-game series in Oakland, lost two of three in Arlington, and as I write they are about to begin the rubber match in their three game series at home against the Twins.
Record:
W-L 14-9, tied for first in AL West with Seattle, last week second place 4 games behind Seattle (editors note: since this was written the Astros are now 15-9 and 1⁄2 game ahead of Seattle.
