In August the Astros turned what we previously knew about MLB trade deadlines on it’s head. After a surprisingly quiet non-waiver deadline, the aggrieved front office made a splash a month later by acquiring one of the best currently-active pitchers from a career perspective. Justin Verlander brought some needed stability to the Astros staff after a 12-17 August, and could be quickly considered well worth the price after posting a 0.86 ERA in three Houston starts, including a gem in the AL...

Looking to take another step toward home-field advantage in the postseason, the AL West-champion Astros turn to ace Dallas Keuchel in Thursday night's series finale at Minute Maid Park against the White Sox, who counter with rookie Carson Fulmer.
Brad Peacock won his 12th game of the season by firing six innings of one-hit ball Wednesday night to lead the AL West-champion Astros to their sixth consecutive win, 4-3, over the White Sox at Minute Maid Park.

There have been other natural disasters since Hurricane Harvey, of course. The attention of the country and the world have shifted their attention to other places, other disasters, which seem to come, out of the earth and out of the sky, with a frightening regularity. But in Houston, the recovery goes on.
