Minor League Weekend Recap

With the Astros not playing so well in the Majors, it’s up to the Minor League Affiliates to bring us some happiness. Well, through their first weekend of play, their have been many bright spots. Here’s a look at what some of the Astros prospects have done so far.

Reminder — With the Astros going with a tandem starting pitching strategy, starters will only go at most 5 IP, and the next pitcher will go 4 IP. Relievers will only be used to bridge gaps, or to close out close games.
