Before we dive into the recap tonight, let’s make one thing crystal clear: The threats against Lance McCullers Jr. and his family following his start against the Reds are completely and entirely unacceptable. Over a freaking baseball game. Absolutely appalling and vile.
A heated Joe Espada began his postgame news conference by revealing that threats against Lance McCullers Jr’s family and life were made after today’s start. The Astros say they’ve...

Astros right-hander Hunter Brown fell just one out shy of logging at least six innings for the eighth time this season in a 3-0 win Friday night over the Cincinnati Reds.

For one reason or another, the Reds have given the Astros fits for the past 13 years. I suppose we can count that as payback for Roy Oswalt dominating them for the better part of a decade. However, with Houston’s transition to the American League, these former division rivals haven’t often faced each other. Since the 2012 season, the Astros have played Cincinnati 29 times, achieving only six victories. Indeed, a dreadful 6-23 record. That last victory occurred...
Hunter Brown posted his fourth scoreless start of the season and the host Houston Astros registered a 3-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday in the opener of a three-game interleague series.

Hunter Brown tonight!
Here are the AL West standings.
Here are tonight’s lineups. It’s the second game in a row without rookie Cam Smith in the lineup. Has Zach Dezenzo won a starting role?
