Astros win behind Collin McHugh and double plays

Related Topics: Houston Astros, Win, Collin McHugh

The Houston Astros are four wins away from 80 wins with a 76-47 record on the season. Because they did not make a high impact move at the deadline, they will rely on what they got. This includes Collin McHugh, who got the win last night.

Two days before the 2017 trade deadline, McHugh made only his second start of the season. He pitched six innings only allowing one run and striking out seven hitters. Dallas Keuchel had not made one start before the deadline, so it was risky not adding a starter.

The Astros decided not to add a starting pitcher at the deadline.
