A Look Back at Some Recent Astros Personnel Losses

1 week ago | crawfishboxes.com | William Metzger

Thomas Shea-Imagn Images Yesterday was a pretty good day for General Manager Dana Brown. Ok, the losses of Kyle Tucker and Alex Bregman have been worst-case scenarios for the Astros GM, but yesterday, the pieces acquired from the Cubs for Tucker won the game. Isaac Paredes hit the go-ahead three-run homer. Hayden Wesneski recorded the win with a quality start. Cam Smith stayed hot with an RBI single. Of course, these players will be controlled by the Astros for years.

Erik Williams-Imagn Images Hayden Wesneski got his first win today, in part thanks to a start at least good enough for any fifth starter, and in part thanks to some rare run support from the beleaguered Astros offense. The win gave the Astros a series win; it was the first series loss for the Angels all year. Wesneski survived six innings, allowing three runs, all on solo homers, while striking out 10 Angels. The strikeout total was a career high for Wesnski.

Photo by Steph Chambers/Getty Images The Astros won one last night in 12 innings without even scoring an earned run. Maybe they’ll hit tonight. Maybe tonight is the night. Here are the standings. Angels in first? Here are the lineups and media access information. The Spring Training rookie golden boy/savior/future-of-the-Astros is batting ninth and hitting .143. Maybe more than a dozen games at AA would have helped.
