Astros Surge Ahead in AL West | Houston Astros News

The Astros cling to a one-game AL West lead as they battle the A’s in a pivotal three-game series, with Hunter Brown back on the mound after shoulder rehab. Since late May, they’ve surged to the second-best record in the AL, crushing homers and slugging their way to the top of the league. Players’ Weekend adds flair, while “Dog Days” brings pups and perks to the ballpark. Yordan Alvarez is on pace for MVP honors, just one homer from his career high, and Isaac Paredes is on an 11-game hit streak without a strikeout. The minor leagues are also booming—with multiple teams in first place and one even crowned champion—signaling a bright future for Houston baseball.
