Houston Astros: Crush City Needs Some Clutch City

Earlier this year, the Houston Astros were dubbed as “Crush City” for their ability to hit home runs. The team is currently ranked 2nd in Major League Baseball behind the Toronto Blue Jays in team home runs. The Astros also recently set an MLB record with 11 players hitting double-digit home runs. They can even extend that record in these last six games of the season with Jake Marisnick and Jed Lowrie currently sitting at nine home runs each. The Astros also have five players with at least 20 home runs in rookie sensation Carlos Correa, Evan Gattis, Colby Rasmus, Luis Valbuena, and Chris Carter.
