THE OFFENSIVE EXPLOSION CONTINUES: 

The Houston Astros tallied 13-hits, just another day in the office for the 'Stros.  Brantley went 3 for 3 and is hitting .350 in the third spot in the lineup. Gurriel's batting average is .333, Alvarez is hitting .308. That is a very impressive and dangerous 3-4-5 spot in the lineup. The Houston Astros also have the most hits and RBI in the Majors. They also have the least strikeouts in the league. The Astros make contact and play small ball when they have to.  Let's keep the momentum going. GO ASTROS.

5 OUTS AWAY FROM A NO-HITTER:

Everyone has been talking about the explosive Astros offense and rightfully so, but how about their pitching? Last night, Jake Odorizzi and Christian Javier had a combined no-hitter going into the eighth inning. Brandon Bielak came in to pitch in the eighth inning and gave up a home run to Maikel Franco.

WHEN WAS THE ASTROS LAST NO-HITTER?

Justin Verlander no-hit the Toronto Blue Jays back on September 1st, 2019. It was Verlander's 3rd career no-hitter.
