Phew. Abreu closes it out cleanly. 3 out of 4...Silver Boot W's. And great turn around on the road trip.
series win. leap frog the rangers. 3rd in AL West 7-3 road trip 123 inning for bryan abreu time for the real test against the brewers at home
Space Cowboys keep finding ways to score 5+. Spaghetti was stingy with the runs AND the walks. Bullpen was almost flawless. Astros are their closest to 500 since April 22nd, series finale @CLE. They lost the next 2 vs NYY. BTSOOTR
Solid win all the way around Abreu improving Brown and Hader coming back we are going to the world series
The Astros are 5-2 against the Rangers this season and have a magic number of 2 to win the Silver Boot once again. They play the Rangers six more games this season.
Vasquez getting a lot of credit for the pitching turnaround. Deserved? Offense still highly dependent on Yordan (who’s currently on pace to have one of the greatest Astros seasons since Bagwell) but the pitching turnaround has directly correlated with the recent success.
Another excellent outing, and with only 1 walk for Arrighetti. I don't think this team has any buisiness winning a division, but the sorry state of the AL west has made it feasible.
