The Houston Astros grabbed a win that they absolutely needed tonight, creaming the Minnesota Twins by a final of 16-4 in front of a crowd of 20,847 at Minute Maid Park tonight.
This win by the Houston Astros gets them to the 10 win mark on the season and brings their record to a 10-18 record for the season. Jose Altuve once again is doing something historic as he is only three- count them 3- home runs away from tying Craig Biggio's Single Season Franchise Record for most lead-off home runs in a single season with 8. The thing that makes this so crazy is that Jose Altuve has 5 lead-off home runs this season already... and we haven't even gotten to the middle of May yet!!!
Other Astros contributed as well. Jason Castro and Carlos Correa smacked home runs as well in this game to add to the run total of the Houston Astros. Scott Feldman ended up getting the win tonight as he came in to relief Mike Fiers the next inning after he was taken out of the game.
Overall, this was a great game tonight by the Houston Astros as it was a game where it seemed like they were letting their frustration out with their early season struggles. For the first time this season, the Houston Astros have back to back wins, which is the longest drought to start the season that the Houston Astros have ever had in Franchise History. It isn't anything to worry about though as right now, the Houston Astros are dominating in the month of May. So, this will be their turnaround month and they will go on a tear and absolutely be back to the team of last season.
