Last season, Minute Maid Park was home for Dallas Keuchel with a 15-0 record with a 1.46 ERA. Keuchel’s success at home was part of the reasons why he won the AL Cy Young last year. However, he has come back to earth in 2016 with the Houston Astros. He has a 4-5 record with 3.60 ERA. While Keuchel has had a disappointing season, Joseph Musgrove has taken over recently as the king of Minute Maid Park.
Last night’s start was Musgrove’s second start at home and his fifth overall start in the big leagues.
