The Astros pulled back to .500 with a most unusual win: All of the runs were scored on home runs! For a team that has lacked real power hitting for the past few years, today's five homers were a big treat. Match that up with another superb start from Scott Feldman, and we've got a WIN today!
The homers were hit by 5 different Astros batters, starting with Castro's 2 run blast in the first inning. Then Dominguez, Presley, Guzman, and Villar followed up with long balls of their own. Feldman threw 7 innings, giving up only one run on a ground out. Bass had a good 8th inning in relief, but got in trouble in the ninth and had to be rescued by Chad Qualls, who got the save.
This win puts the Astros back up at .500, with a chance to tie up this badly begun Angels series with tomorrow afternoon's game.
Bad news of the day: Fowler's still out of the lineup, suffering from a gastrointestinal virus. Altuve didn't get a hit in this game. And Krauss still hasn't got his first hit of the season. I'm hoping that when he does, it's a big clutch hit that wins the game!
