Astros Opening Day Recap: Statcast Moments
All in all, the Astros 2017 Opening Day was a resounding success. Not only did the team defeat a division rival, they looked good in the process.
Three-to-zero. This was the score of the Astros first meaningful victory in 2017. And a win on Opening Day is always a special treat. This now makes Houston undefeated in Opening Day games since joining the American League if my memory serves me correctly.
Anyway, there were some fine performances up-and-down this Astros roster last night. And it is hard to single out just a few. But I am giving it a shot.

George Springer, for example, got the excitement started early with his first inning home run to the Crawford Boxes.
