It’s amazing how a five-game winning streak can fog our memories of the past. What slump? We all knew the Astros would get right back on track, and that’s exactly what they’ve done. Houston has back-to-back sweeps over the Seattle Mariners and the Colorado Rockies.
In the last five games, the Astros scored five more runs than in the previous five games. But more importantly, the pitching staff has buckled down a bit more. Comparing those same time periods, Houston allowed half of the runs in the last five games vs the five games prior, to the tune of 17 and 34 respectively.
