The Astros won. Again. And this time, for their historic 12th consecutive victory, they never held a lead until the very end of the game. Alex Bregman delivered the walk-off two-run double, completing a historic winning streak with an historic at-bat. Houston has compiled winning streaks of 12 games in 1999, 2004 and, now, 2018.

Start your week with the top Astros and baseball headlines
Last night the Astros (48-25) came from behind to beat the Royals 7-4 to extend the team’s winning streak to eleven. Houston is firing on all cylinders - they just swept a ten game road-steak, in which they outscored their opponents 74-35.
More good news - Bill Brown’s temporarily returning this week (more below). Even more good news - the Mariners (46-26) finally lost a game, so now the Astros lead the AL West by a game and a...
The Astros (48-25, 1st in AL West) continue their assault on the soft underbelly of the AL as they welcome the Rays (33-38, tied for 3rd in AL East) to Houston
Recency BiasThe Astros return home after setting Arlington, Oakland, and Kansas City on fire as they would sweep the 10 game road trip and now own a season high 11 game win streak. The month of June has been especially good for Houston, who has a 12-3 record with the offense slashing .306/.369/.524 as a collective unit. Though most...
Prior to the Houston Astros’ ten game road trip, they split a four-game series with the Boston Red Sox, who at the time had the best record in baseball and split a short two game series with the Seattle Mariners, who at the time were a game ahead of the Astros in the division. Since that rocky homestand, the Astros have been undefeated. The first stop on the road trip was Arlington, Texas where the Astros played the Texas Rangers in a four-game series. In those four games against the...

Tony Kemp, Legit Major LeaguerQuestion. Who has the highest batting average on the Houston Astros?
OK, that’s too easy. Jose Altuve of course.

The latest out of Citi Field… The Mets faced a tough challenge from the Astros in the race to sign Yoenis Cespedes in the 2016-17 offseason, John Harper of the New York Daily News reports. The Astros reportedly made Cespedes a similarly-sized offer (four years, $110MM) that the outfielder was “strongly considering,” according to one Mets source. Another Mets-connected person tells Harper that Cespedes’ “considerations were [to play for a] contender, money, no-trade clause, and...
Correa, Gattis, come up big again.
Happy Father’s Day. And a Happy Father’s Day it was for all the fathers of the Astros, and the fathers of Astros fans, and their sons, and the mothers and daughters too for that matter.
The Astros are on an 11 game winning streak, and they have just completed a 10 game undefeated road trip. It is only the fifth time in history that a team has had an undefeated road trip of a duration of 10 games or longer.
Some cynical people will scoff, claiming the...
The Astros won their 11th game in a row Sunday, 10 of which came on the road.
The Houston Astros won their 11th straight game Sunday, finishing off a dominant 10-0 road trip by defeating the Kansas City Royals 7-4.
Carlos Correa's tying homer sparked a three-run eighth inning and Evan Gattis logged the go-ahead single to help the Astros stretch their winning streak to 11 and finish off a 10-0 road trip with a sweep of the Royals. Hunter Dozier had given Kansas City a lead with his two-run homer in the third inning, but the bullpen couldn't hold it. Mike Moustakas was ejected by home-plate umpire John Tumpane for arguing from the dugout after he was thrown out at home and a replay review was ruled to...
This Father's Day is especially sentimental for Royals pitcher Justin Grimm, as it's his first as a father. Astros pitcher Brad Peacock is also celebrating his first Father's Day. His wife, Stephanie, gave birth to a son, Colton, on June 24, 2017. Peacock was looking forward to heading home to Houston late Sunday to see his wife and son, who are traveling to Texas from Florida.

How a day with my father shaped what would become a lifelong love for the Astros
I didn’t know my father very well.
When I was young my parents separated and my brother and I would live with our mother. During the early years my father lived in Houston and we would visit him once a month for a long weekend. We would always do fun things like go to AstroWorld or Hanna-Barbara Land, or a once a year camping trip to Big Bend. But I loved when he took us to see the Astros play.
One of my...
