The Houston Astros are on a hot streak, having won six consecutive games. They recently completed a four-game sweep of the Oakland Athletics and followed it up with a 5-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers, improving their record to 20-25. This surge has propelled them to third place in the AL West, just four games behind the Seattle Mariners. Key to their success has been improved execution in all facets of the game, as highlighted by Jeremy Peña's crucial three-run homer in the win against the Brewers. Josh Hader also contributed with a 1-2-3 ninth inning, earning a save against all 30 MLB teams.
