The last time they hit six home runs in a game was May 31st, 2017 in Minnesota. Alex Bregman and Michael Brantley were the only Astros that went hitless. George Springer led the way going 4-for-5 with three singles and a triple.
On the mound, Miley had to work out of his own messes after issuing five walks, a season-high. He got a three-up-three-down inning just once. Despite some lapses in control, Wade only had one swing do him damage on a two-run homer by Daniel Vogelbach in the sixth inning.
In 21 of his 23 starts, Wade Miley has allowed three earned runs or less. In the other two starts he gave up four earned runs. He has quietly been a model of consistency all season.
The Astros improve to 71-30 on the year. Saturday will feature a Houston debut for one of the latest acquisitions at the trade deadline. Former Toronto Blue Jay Aaron Sanchez will make his start and look to improve on a 6.07 earned run average.
