Astros sign relief pitcher Hector Neris. He will be available for today's game.
Houston sent down RHP Alexander to AAA to make a roster spot for Neris.
This is Neris third stint with Houston. He pitched for the Angels and Braves this season.
Celebrating another 4th down here on the beach. One thing about being down here, don't have to buy fireworks. Plenty being shot for us to watch on the beach.
Astros treated this day game as a "throw away" game. Used pitchers that haven't seen much action of late to rest some other arms.
Houston loses 7-6 but still got the series win over Colorado.
On to the Dodgers for a 3 game weekend series at Chavez Ravine.
The Astros just had their BEST June in team history, going 19-7 with a .731 winning percentage. IN FACT, this was the 5th best record for a full month in ALL of the Astros history.
I figured that's what you were talking about.
I see Pena making it as a reserve (but likely will elect not to play) and Brown and Valdez being on the pitching staff along with Hader.
