Justin Verlander did not have his best outing on Sunday night as Pavin Smith and the Arizona Diamondbacks routed the Houston Astros 12-6 on Sunday night.

How much longer can the Astros allow this to continue?
We all know Father Time’s won-loss record.
For even “The Greatest” he remains the grim reaper of every sports career.
After two years of retirement, Father Time (aka Larry Holmes), did this to the head and body of Muhammad Ali at age 40.
Today, Justin Verlander may well have wanted to trade places with Ali considering the pounding he took at the hands of the Diamondbacks.
After getting...
For those who did not know who Pavin Smith was before tonight, now you do. Facing three-time Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander, the Diamondbacks’ Pavin Smith dominated, driving in a staggering eight RBIs within the first five innings of Arizona’s fast offensive outbreak against the Astros on Sunday Night Baseball.

Can Verlander return to form? Stay tuned.
Look at 1-5 in the lineup. Tucker and Bregman are in the lineup at the same time! This looks like the strongest lineup the Astros have fielded since June 3. No easy outs 1-9.

Another day of Astros minor league action is in the books. See the results below!
Here is the previous day’s recap.
AAA: Sugar Land Space Cowboys (86-50) won 4-1 (BOX SCORE)Sugar Land got on the board in the 4th inning on a Hummel RBI triple. Blubaugh got the start and was dominant striking out 9 over 6 innings allowing 1 run. The offense rallied for 3 runs in the 7th on a Cabbage RBI triple, Dezenzo RBI single...
One game after Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez produced multi-hit games to spur an eruption from atop the lineup, that duo did so again to help the Houston Astros cruise to an 11-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday and clinch this three-game interleague series.

Fresh off a disappointing sweep by the hands of the Reds earlier in the week, I was honestly a little nervous entering this series against the Diamondbacks. For one, Arizona has one of the best lineups in baseball. It also doesn’t help matters that the Astros’ lineup wasn’t exactly clicking on all cylinders. That last game, in particular, saw Houston shut out with little life. To be fair, it is difficult to judge a lineup based on a single game, but the...
Jeremy Peña and Jose Altuve smashed home runs as the Houston Astros found some offense and defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 11-5 on Saturday. Yordan Alvarez and Chas McCormick also added RBI hits as the Astros secured the series win.
Jeremy Pena capped a five-run sixth inning with a three-run home run, and the Houston Astros remained unbeaten with Yusei Kikuchi on the mound by toppling the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks 11-5 on Saturday.
The Diamondbacks dropped the second game of the series to the Houston Astros by an 11-5 score at Minute Maid Park. A pair of big innings, with the Astros scoring four in the fourth and five in the sixth, ultimately did Arizona in for their second straight blowout loss.

In the final year of a five-year extension, how much will Astros third baseman and free agent-to-be Alex Bregman be worth in free agency? The first major deal of the offseason was struck on Wednesday with the San Francisco Giants locking down third baseman Matt Chapman for the next six years.

Here is the previous day’s recap.
AAA: Sugar Land Space Cowboys (85-50) lost 1-0 (BOX SCORE)Brown started for Sugar Land and pitched well striking out 3 over 5 innings allowing 1 unearned run. The pen was great tossing 3 scoreless innings. The offense struggled though collecting just 5 hits as they were...
The Houston Astros look poised to pull off one of the biggest turnarounds of the 2024 season. It’s no secret that the Astros had a miserable start to the current campaign.

For the first time since June 3, the Astros had Kyle Tucker in their lineup. That development by itself was a massive upgrade for Houston. While Tucker only served as the designated hitter, his presence in the top half of the lineup matters, even if he needed to shake off some rust. Again, the impact of Tucker in this offense can’t be overstated.
As for the actual game, it was essentially Framber Valdez and Yordan Alvarez who led the charge. The former held...
The Diamondbacks were embarrassed by the Houston Astros in an 8-0 loss at Minute Maid Park. Despite getting Ketel Marte back in the lineup, Arizona hitters could not solve Framber Valdez, who blanked them for seven innings.
It appears that all Yordan Alvarez needed to do was to get back to Minute Maid Park for some home cooking with the Houston Astros. Alvarez blasted two three-run homers on Friday night, leading the Astros past the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-0.
Yordan Alvarez slugged two three-run home runs while Framber Valdez tossed seven shutout innings as the Houston Astros claimed the opener of a three-game interleague series with the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-0 on Friday.
