The Astros ended up having the day off, but the Skeeters did not.
While the Houston Astros‘ contest with the Detroit Tigers was postponed due to weather, there was still professional baseball happening for Houstonians. Down in Sugar Land, the Skeeters opened their second game against the Oklahoma City Dodgers.
At the big-league level, the Astros will start a double header on Saturday starting at noon and 5 p.m. The hurlers for those seven-inning games will be Framber Valdez and Lance McCullers Jr.
With the roster expanding to 27 players for Saturday’s games, Garrett Stubbs and Andre Scrubb look to be the the two options that could be called up.
