Houston Astros Pitching Sets Record for Strikeous

The Houston Astros may be struggling tied for last place in the American League West but, that doesn't mean they can't make some noise in other areas.

They did pick up a 4-2 win against the Baltimore Orioles yesterday, a game in which starting pitcher Lance McCullers helped the Astros set a record for strikeouts in a  3-game series at 52.

McCullers fanned 10 batters in 5 innings on the way to helping the 'stros break the previous record of 47, set by Washington earlier this year.
