Cinco De Mayo a mixed bag for Astros Organization

Organization goes 2-3 for the day. Good news is Correa keeps destroying the ball, Singleton homered which will hopefully start to get him going. Tucker and Kemp keep doing what they do and the big three in Lancaster go 0 for 11, BB and 4K...

Fresno gets beat by Jason Lane and team called Chihuahuas, gets ridiculed mercilessly...

So Tucker is leading MiLB with 32 RBI, collects another 3 hits, one being a double.  You got to hand it to this guy he is doing everything he can to tell the Astros I am ready when you are.  Singleton goes hard to make it closer late but error in the second by Torreyes lead to 3 unearned runs by Straily.  Tough game for Straily but not exactly dominant enough to say the error was the only cause of the loss.

Oberholtzer on the mound tomorrow for second rehab start.

Correa and Kemmer each homer to give Corpus a 5 run lead in the second inning that the Rockhounds couldn't recover from.

You can't say enough about Correa so I'll stop here.  The other thing of note here is that Hader while not ineffective had 3 BB and 2 hit batsmen with 4 K's in 3 2/3 innings...

Lancaster takes early lead but soon swept away in desert winds

I am a fan of the knuckle-ball but man Blaine Sims is just getting lit up, honestly if the winds are blowing out it should mean that the knuckle is getting good strong wind to dance with, so that ball should be unhittable.  Davis, Reed and McDonald all go hit-less in the game, good to see Ramsay and Holberton in the lineup more.  Nice solo blast by Fernandez.

Quad Cities wins 7th straight behind great performance from the 'stache.

Shutout performance by Mengden, Yuhl and Thompson keeps scoreless alive at 15 innings.  Every batter reached base at least once as the banditos win it 4 to 0 over the Kane County.
