Not a single team in baseball entered play on Monday with more 2019 victories under their belt than the 48 logged by the Houston Astros. Sure, they’re currently sans Jose Altuve, George Springer, and Carlos Correa, but this is absolutely still a powerhouse franchise playing good baseball, and shutting down their offense is still a feat of pertinence.
That’s what Luis Castillo did through 6 IP, as he allowed just 2 hits and nary a run while striking out 7, even eschewing a brief rain delay to again show his dominance.
