The last decision Dusty Baker needs to make before April 1 is to name the guy who’s going to serve as the Astros’ fifth starter to begin the season. With no more Spring Training games left for Houston, the battle is down to two young righties: Luis García and Brandon Bielak.
Dusty Baker confirmed that Robel Garcia made the team. So if Myles Straw clears the health and safety protocols in time for Opening Day, the roster is set.
The only other unknown is the 5th starter. But the loser of the Luis Garcia/Brandon Bielak competition will make the 'pen.
