## Resource

Tatsuya Imai is on fire—after a shaky start, the Japanese pitcher’s last three outings have been stellar, including a six-inning gem against the Brewers that allowed just two runs. With a 2.70 ERA over 16.2 innings, he’s striking out batters and rediscovering his Japanese-style attack on the strike zone. Manager Joe Espada is thrilled, praising Imai’s consistent velocity and poise under pressure. While the Astros fell on Sunday, their May surge—winning seven of their last ten—has them poised for a strong June, with Imai’s turnaround leading the charge.
