## Resource

The Astros are on fire, snapping a brutal start to the season with a scorching 25-16 run over 41 games and a commanding 2-0 series win against the AL’s best. With key arms like Hunter Brown and Josh Hader back, and Yordan Alvarez still MVP-caliber despite a quiet game, the pitching staff—led by Peter Lambert’s gem of a shutout—has delivered when it matters most. They’re now within striking distance of hitting .500 by the All-Star break, proving grit and depth can turn a disaster into a dynasty.
