Astros News
The Astros clawed their way back into the win column with a thrilling 9-7 victory over the Blue Jays, thanks in large part to Joey Loperfido's clutch three-run homer in the 11th inning, marking his triumphant return to Rogers Centre. This victory is a breath of fresh air in a season that has been plagued with inconsistency, as evidenced by Jose Altuve's uneven performance, which has fans cautiously optimistic after a big show of emotion last Friday. As the team continues to battle injuries with ten players on the IL, the spark from Loperfido and the power surge of back-to-back-to-back homers against Shane Bieber provide a glimmer of hope. Peter Lambert makes his first career start today, and the Astros need to ride this momentum to climb out of their current 37-43 record.
