The Astros’ offense has looked once again like its old, more-dominant self, coming off an 8-1 stretch that includes back-to-back games of double-digit run support after last night’s 15-1 blowout. But even a few days ago when things were looking a little rougher, there was one consistent cog in the offense machine that was still working: Michael Brantley.
Three-quarters of the way through the season, the 32-year-old outfielder is putting together quite the impressive campaign for himself, looking like not just the best signing of the offseason, but also like he might be having the best season in his career.
