Let's hear it for those Astros pitchers who showed up during a tough stretch for the Houston team.
If someone said to you that after six games of a nine-game stretch against the two best teams in baseball, the Astros would be 4-2 and have held the Yankees scoreless for more than 16 innings, you would likely be beside yourself with joy. But, the fact that the team was on the verge of being 6-0 tempers the enthusiasm just a bit, particularly after losing the final game of a four-game set against the Yanks to a walk off home run in the 10th inning to Aaron Judge.
In reality, this is the best pitching staff in the major leagues and we are still awaiting the return of Lance McCullers, Jr. and Jake Odorizzi, who could be back next week.The Astros became the only team to drop two no hitters on the Yankees since the 1950s after their brilliant three-pitcher no-no on Saturday.
This was particularly significant coming against the team with the best record in the majors and a team the Astros are bound to see again in the postseason, perhaps even in the ALCS .Jake Meyers and Jeremy Peña both returned this week. Meyers is the bigger story because he has yet to play this season. Without question, the Astros are hoping Meyers can return and help shore up the bottom of the order, which has been just awful.
