As the Astros continue their winning ways with many key players still missing, the youngsters coming out of Round Rock are putting their talent on display. Alvarez has literally launched his career skyward and Armenteros was impressive in his long-awaited Major League debut.
The bats of the Houston Astros overshadowed yet another fine outing by Gerrit Cole as they routed the Toronto Blue Jays 15-2. Cole put in six innings of work, allowing just two runs on three hits and striking out ten. The Astros have won nine of the last ten games Cole has started.
