Not if the Astros keep chewing up good teams left and right. They're not as far back as they were, now just 6 behind the Yanks. |

Astros blast the O's 6-0. Yanks lead moves to 1.5
Astros are playing scary good ball right now. Hopefully they're peaking early and come back to earth by late September/October.

Astros blast the O's 6-0. Yanks lead moves to 1.5 Astros are playing scary good ball right now. Hopefully they're peaking early and come back to earth by late September/October. As big a shambles as their rotation was early in the season, that's as good as it is now: Hunter Brown is 10-3 with a 2.32 ERA since mid-May. Framber Valdez is 8-0 in his last 10 starts with a 2.11 ERA. Yusei Kikuchi is 2-0 in 4 starts since being traded to Houston with a 2.42 ERA, with 31 K's in 22 2/3 innings and just 7 Bb. Ronel Blanco has actually been the weak link lately, 1-2 in 6 starts with a 5.33 ERA, but he's 9-6 on the season with a 3.14 ERA and the lowest H/9 in the AL. Justin Verlander is the FIFTH starter, just came off the IL Valdez, Kikuchi and Verlander have a history of pitching very well against the Yanks as well. Just like the Yanks' current rotation, right? |

just another solid all around pitching performance as they have appeared to regain "some" of their early season traction. held cleveland to 1 run and 5 hits over the last 2 games. gil's injury unfortunate. maybe he's a bullpen arm when he returns. warren back up w schmidt getting near, along w some other bullpen arms.
offense only 6 hits but did just enough with stanton & judge providing the muscle. hopefully this was more than just the usual stanton tease but admittedly there's few could hit that pitch 420 ft. maybe gleyber settling into leadoff and always good to see volpe working some walks. wells keeping on ...
the up & down, jeckyl/hyde inconsistent play continues as we go 1 1/2 up on the O's w the best record in the AL trailing only the dodgers by a game. seems most teams are stuck on the same roller coaster. 5 more weeks ...

Didn't see much Yankees this week but driving home through Virginia/Maryland last night I found O's/Astros on the radio and listened.

I just hope they split, or the Ass-Tros win 3/4… |
