It has been quite an up-and-down week for the Astros. They have had some games where the bats came to life, and some where they couldn't hit at all (and some where they hit a lot but not at the right time.) They also lost one of their best hitters for most of the week and their starting catcher who had been hitting well over the last two weeks. Here are a few guys who helped the team move forward, or at least tread water.
Honorable Mention
