The Houston Astros not only made a very questionable roster move to bring back the struggling Jose Abreu, but they also lost Cristian Javier to the injured list
The Houston Astros offense has performed pretty well this year. With just a few tweaks (and some better decisions), they could end up being legitimately great.
Jake Meyers hit a three-run homer to highlight Houston's six-run fourth inning that backed Justin Verlander's winning start, and the Astros beat the Oakland Athletics 6-3 on Friday night. Verlander (3-2) struck out nine over six innings to increase hit total to 3,377, passing Hall of Famer Greg Maddux (3,371) for 10th on the career strikeouts list. After another milestone to add to a long list of them, Verlander wasn't sure exactly how to feel.
