HOUSTON — The Houston Astros experienced a relatively carefree run to the best record in baseball, but they encountered some tumult over the weekend in the form of a sweep by the Cleveland Indians and the loss of two key cogs to injuries.
After a rare bad weekend, the Astros look to get back on track Monday night in the opener of a four-game series with the Detroit Tigers.
The Astros (29-15) placed catcher Brian McCann on the seven-day concussion disabled list on Sunday. One day earlier, left-hander Dallas Keuchel landed on the 10-day DL with a pinched nerve in his neck.
