What a rollercoaster season. Despite a continued epidemic of injuries, everything that was going wrong for the Astros in April is going right for the Astros in a 17-8 June. The Astros organization is so bereft of viable, healthy starting pitching options that today they had to rely on the opener gambit against one of the hottest and most stacked offenses in baseball.
And it worked!
And a team that earlier in the season couldn’t get a clutch RBI to save its season today was 7-16 with runners in scoring position, including 5-7 in extra innings.
The fire is burning again.
