Astros Stage Wild 4-Run 9th Inning Comeback | Houston Astros News

Houston Astros pulled off a jaw-dropping, four-run ninth-inning comeback against the Los Angeles Angels after being down 4-0 in the fourth, winning 6-4 in a game defined by chaos, errors, and resilience. With just one hit but ten batters, the Astros turned a disaster into a masterpiece, marking the first time in live-ball era history a team scored four runs on fewer than two hits via walks, hit batters, and errors. The Angels, notorious for late-game collapses — their ninth loss this season when leading after eight innings — crumbled under pressure. Despite an early pitching scare, Cristian Javier’s five scoreless innings in relief kept Houston alive, setting the stage for a historic, improbable win that boosts their six-game winning streak and fuels confidence as they push for the series.

McCullers DFA'd After Brief Brewers Stint | Houston Astros News

Houston Astros traded Lance McCullers Jr. to the Brewers just to DFA him eleven days later—highlighting a swift exit for the 32-year-old pitcher whose 6.86 ERA and injury history (including missing 2023-2024 entirely) made his return unlikely. After two rough outings with Milwaukee, he’s now a free agent if he clears waivers. While his Astros roots and veteran presence might tempt a non-roster invite to spring training, his current form and lack of minor league options make a major role improbable.
