Pecko’s latest outing was a gem—5 innings, 2 runs. Meanwhile, despite slumps from stars Jeremy Pena and Yordan Alvarez, the offense is still humming thanks to Isaac Paredes’ five-game hitting streak and clutch walks, Jose Altuve’s recent homer (though he’s cooled off in September), and Yainer Diaz’s hot streak with power and on-base skills. Daulton Varsho’s struggles and Christian Walker’s milestone home run chase add intrigue, while Taylor Trammell battles lefties and Cam Smith chases his 100th RBI. Can Houston keep rolling?
