Ever since the acquisition of Aubrey Huff from the then-Tampa Bay Devil Rays, the Astros have never seem to fare well there. I may be wrong in terms of the win-loss record, yet that seems to be the public perception around the Astros online following.
Anyway, the Astros actually performed admirably in Tampa this weekend. Two-out-of-three wins against a competitive Rays club is not easy work. The series finale in particular was a come-from-behind victory.
Unfortunately, the Astros didn’t come out unscathed. Saturday, for example, we witnessed George Springer leave the game with a hamstring injury. He didn’t partake in Sunday’s game, which broke an impressive league-leading streak of 205 consecutive games played.
