It may have not been the characteristic of Crush City but the Houston Astros did what they need to do to win. In a game that relied completely on the long ball, no matter what, this team found a way to win. I get it — there are going to be games where the team won’t able to get multiple hits but as long as the silver lining is there — winning the ballgame — that’s what’s paramount.
Brad Peacock, who pitched wonderfully off three-days rest last week against the Texas Rangers, showed off with an extra day of rest to boot.
