Astros News
Peter Lambert continues to be a revelation for the Houston Astros, delivering a stellar performance in yesterday's 4-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers. With seven innings of one-run ball, Lambert not only improved his record to 6-4 but solidified his status as the team's second-best starter, a role he has embraced after an unexpected journey back to Houston. As the Astros sit at 34-41, their pitching has become a glaring issue, with a run differential of -15 over the last week, prompting the team to shuffle Mike Burrows to the bullpen. Meanwhile, with the MLB Draft looming, the Astros are eyeing top college hitters that could bolster their lineup for the future. Maintaining momentum after yesterday's win will be crucial as they seek to turn their season around.
