The Bats are Back! Even better, it felt like the Astros were back. The whole team, starting pitching as usual, but hitting and clean baseball on the field too. And let’s not forget the bullpen; a shutdown performance. And all without Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, and, oh my God, George Springer.

Here’s the play that did it.

George Springer left the game early after this diving attempt. Stay with Astros Postgame to hear what AJ Hinch has to say…
