*The Astros are 30-15 (.667), tied for the best start in franchise history, and the first team in MLB to 30 wins. They would need to go 64-53 (.547) the rest of the way to hit 94 wins.
*It's the Astros' first one-hitter since July 20, 2013 against Seattle when Erik Bedard, Jose Cisnero, Travis Blackley, and Jose Veras combined to hold the Mariners to one hit with 15 strikeouts and six walks. The Astros managed to lose that game 4-2. Perhaps you better remember it as the game where Erik Bedard had a no-hitter through 6.1IP, but had thrown 109 pitches and asked to be taken out of the game.
*Peacock:
I felt great out there tonight. I haven't felt that way in a long time.
*Hinch:
That was an excellent effort in production. Everything you could ask for going into the game, just by being able to get into the fifth is one thing, and get into the fifth with all those punchouts and really keeping the game under control is another. And on top of that, it's a one-run game. That's a pretty special performance.
*The Astros got nine hits on the night but were held to just one run, going 0x9 w/RISP.
*Brian McCann, who thinks he got his concussion taking a 97mph foul ball off the mask against the Yankees but didn't go on the DL until almost a week later, is feeling much better.
*Vice Sports: The Astros have baseball's new Murderer's Row
*Ol' boy Dave Raymond said that Houston fan reaction to the Astros start was "laughable."
*Yesterday I took a guess as to why Kyle Tucker and his 1.004 OPS are both still in High-A.
*Jordan Jankowski's wife is named Jordan.
*Nolan Fontana, the Astros' 2nd Round pick in 2012, was called up by the Angels yesterday.
