Preview
Saturday didn't go as planned for the Astros as Brett Oberholtzer imploded before our eyes and was sent down after the game. Houston send outs Collin McHugh to salvage a series split with the Bronx Bombers. I should say the Bronx Bombers starring Astro-Killer and Houston-born Chris Young. Young is batting .407/.445/.769 against the Astros at Minute Maid Park in his career.
Collin McHugh appears to have found himself once again, allowing just two runs over eight innings on Tuesday against the Angels. He could have had a scoreless outing if his attempted to field a ball -- it trickling away from him.
