After the busy and exciting Trade Deadline earlier this afternoon, the night’s game versus the Indians felt a little bit like an afterthought, if we’re being honest. But nevertheless, the game against the Indians went ahead as planned, and the Astros dropped it 10-4.
The Astros’ offense was decent for the night, and struck first, with Carlos Correa leading off the second with a home run off of rookie starter Zach Plesac to start the scoring on the night. And Yuli Gurriel decided to close out his Player of the Month for July strong the following inning, as he smacked a bases-loaded double down the line to pick up three RBI.
