Astros News

The Houston Astros finally broke even at 54-54 with a gutsy 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels, marking a hot 6-1 stretch that has reignited playoff hopes. This recent surge has given the front office motivation to consider trade moves, particularly with Jeremy Peña's name swirling in rumors as a potential bargaining chip against the Red Sox. Meanwhile, the return of Hayden Wesneski from Tommy John surgery adds depth to a pitching staff that has seen its fair share of struggles. As the Astros gear up for a critical second half, the momentum seems to be shifting, and a sweep against the Angels could signal they're ready to capitalize on a winnable division.
