Astros alumni are killing us.
We already know all too well the vendetta Ramon Laureano has against the Astros. But he’s not the only A’s player with Astros connections damaging the Stros, like Jed Lowrie or Tony Kemp for example.
Today it was the Rangers’ Mike Foltynewicz, former Astros first round pick, who came into today’s game with a 5.18 season ERA. He silenced Astros hitters today with seven shutout innings, allowing only three hits and two walks.
The base on balls was again the nemesis of Astros pitchers today, allowing eight total, yet despite allowing six walks, Astros starter Cristian Javier managed to go 4.
