Astros pitching is pulling it's weight. 3rd best team ERA in American League (3.46). Top 5 in save opportunities and WHIP. Top 3 in strikeouts.

Houston's team batting is currently middle of the pack in AL with team batting average at .226. Hitting is getting better over the last 10 games bringing that average up from .204.

If the Astros can continue to pitch this well and the hitting continues to improve, then I can see Houston atop the division by the All Star break.

Thought Whitley had a good game too. I sometimes cringe when Abreu or Hader take the field

Pitched a perfect two innings to end it. Had 3 K's

Stros with a 5-1 win.

Houston pitching has given up just 1 run on 4 hits in last 18 innings pitched.

Josh Hader last eight games: 0.00 ERA | 10.0 IP | 3 H | 0 BB | 13 K

Stros sweep the Jays with a 3-2 victory. Hader’s stats are good, but he always makes it interesting by walking the leadoff batter followed by a double.

Final was 3-1

and Hader did not walk the leadoff batter. He walked Springer who was the second batter he faced.

I watched the game and know the final. 3-2 is a typo I didn’t catch. Springer was a mistake. Thanks for the heads up.

Whitley only had 2 Ks, but I let it slide. Wee all make mistakes.

Hey 3 in a row.  First time this year.  I think we are coming around.

Currently 2nd best team ERA in American League and up to 8th in team batting average. Has improved batting average over the last 12 games from .204 to now .237.

This current good play trend will lead to more wins and less losses.
