Yesterday was a good day.
The Astros had their first consecutive win and reached .500 for the first time since the second series of the year.
And in their two victories over previously MLB’s best, the Padres, they won with their #6 starter in Game One, and in Game Two the Astros beat the Padres ace with their #5 guy.
Today the Astros have their own ace, Framber Valdez against Dylan Cease. That’s normally pretty scary, but Cease is having a slow start with a 6.45 ERA in the young season. Valdez got hit pretty well in his last start, so let’s see how these pitchers recover from slow starts.
