Returning home from a fantastic road trip where they went 5-1, the Houston Astros returned home to face the Cleveland Guardians and got the series started off with a loss, losing 7-5 on Monday at Daikin Park.
With Jake Meyers hurt and Christian Walker going on paternity leave on top of the rest of the injuries, the Astros started four rookies today, including one player making his MLB debut, to try and back up Astros starter Colton Gordan, another rookie.
This number is a new high for rookies in a lineup for the Astros.
