1972 - The shift works
With two-outs and two on in the bottom of the ninth for Pittsburgh Pirates slugger Willie Stargell, the Houston Astros shift their infield to the right, in hopes of securing the 7-6 win, and it works. Stargell rolls over the Astros shortstop, playing behind second, and throws him out at first for the Astros win.

Framber Valdez shuts down KC.
Baseball just isn’t fair.
If it were, Framber Valdez would be the headliner tonight.
It was vintage Framber tonight. He allowed one run in eight innings, six hits, one walk, with seven strikeouts. He induced three double plays and had 12 groundouts and only two flyouts. Most of the hits were weak, seeing-eye grounders. He did not get the win.
But Royals starter Kris Bubic was about as good, and the Astros entered the...

It’s Framber in a tough matchup with the Royals’ Kris Bubic

Houston will call upon a prospect on the 40-man roster to replace an injured Hayden Wesneski. The Astros are promoting Colton Gordon, who was off to a strong start with Sugar Land, to join Houston’s rotation.

It wasn’t long ago that I felt somewhat decent about the Astros’ pitching depth in the rotation. Then Spencer Arrighetti broke his thumb. Undeterred, though, I still felt alright about their overall situation. Well, until Hayden Wesneski’s elbow started barking. At least there is Lance McCullers Jr., who finally made his long-awaited return. Ryan Gusto also has shown some potential.
Then I watched the games on Saturday and Monday.
To be clear,...
The Astros will recall left-hander Colton Gordon from Triple-A Sugar Land to start tomorrow’s game, reports Chron.com’s Leah Vann. Gordon, who’ll be making his MLB debut, will step into the rotation spot of the injured Hayden Wesneski.

Seven runs through the first three innings ended up as just enough for the KC win
After starting the 2025 season with multiple solid outings on the mound, the Kansas City Royals got to Houston Astros starter Ryan Gusto early and fast.
After a clean first inning from the Astros pitcher, the Royals tagged him for four runs in the top of the second, starting with a leadoff homer from Michael Massey to get KC on the board. He followed this up by retiring the next two...

Looking at the Upward Trend in Offense, And A Peek At Playoff Odds
The Astros’ offense began the season in unimpressive fashion. Sure, there were signs of future improvement ibased on the quality of contact. But the theoretical only takes you so far. As the calendar heads toward mid-May, the offense has slowly but surely improved. Will it continue?
Let’s look...
