It ssems not so very long ago that we were fretting and gnashing our teeth that Houston couldnt get more than one game above .500. Now, 11 games above the watermark, I wonder if anyone feels just a little more confident in what the Astros are trying to do this season.

Erik Williams-Imagn Images For the second night in a row, the Astros won a walk-off against the Minnesota Twins. This time, the unlikely hero was weak-hitting Mauricio Dubon, who doubled home ghost runner Jake Meyers with two outs. But how do the Astros keep winning so many low-scoring games, this time getting only four hits? Especially, considering the injuries to the starting staff? Does the Astros system grow pitchers on trees? Apparently, yes.
