Astros News
The Houston Astros are feeling the sting of losing ace Hunter Brown to the injured list with a shoulder strain, forcing a rotation shakeup as they prepare to face the Colorado Rockies. With a hot offense averaging an impressive 8.5 runs per game, they will need every bit of firepower against a Rockies team that recently handed them a tough loss in which they allowed eight runs in a single inning. Rookie Cody Bolton is set to make his first career start, adding another layer of intrigue to this series. Despite the recent ups and downs, the Astros hold a 6-4 record, good for first place in the division, but fans can't help but worry about the stability of their pitching staff as they aim to maintain momentum in this critical stretch.
