Altuve was one of five Houston hitters who ended up with three-hit nights in a game where the Astros picked up 20 hits and three homers. Altuve’s came with a pair on off Caleb Ferguson, and it extended the lead to 5-1 for Houston while also giving him a dozen homers on the season. Altuve has really picked things up since being moved out of the leadoff spot, and his slash is up to .277/.322/.442.

Smith also drew a walk. This comes a day after the rookie 22-year-old went 4-for-5 in the blowout win over the A’s on Tuesday, and his average has increased over 20 points from .253 to .276 in the process. It has been far from a perfect rookie campaign for Smith, but there have been more than enough good moments to suggest he’s going to be a player in this league for a long time.

Caratini also scored a pair. One of those runs was on a three-run blast to left field that extended Houston’s lead to 9-1. The 31-year-old was hitting just .132 in June coming into Wednesday’s affair, but he now has back-to-back appearances with multiple hits.

Valdez, 31, dealt his fair share of traffic but was able to keep that traffic from crossing the plate. He walked five in the contest, and he allowed five hits while striking out three in a start that could have gone so much worse. He’s now the proud owner of a 3.09 ERA in 2025 with a K/BB ratio of 99/33 across 96 innings. Valdez will look to be a a little more efficient with similar results against the Phillies on Tuesday.

Wilson, 30, has been ineffective off the bench, and the Phillies will send the outfielder down to Lehigh Valley while replacing him with Buddy Kennedy. Assuming Wilson gets back on track in the minors, he should rejoin Philadelphia; albeit in a role that offers no fantasy upside.

If you get swept by the ‘worst team of all-time’, does that make you the worst team of all-time? That’s the question the Nationals must ask themselves after getting swept out of their own building by the lowly Rockies. Beck’s eighth inning home run acted as valuable insurance after a James Wood double in the inning before cut their lead to one. That homer – Beck’s ninth on the season – also gave him an .801 OPS in what’s been an excellent rookie season.

Langford wasted no time starting the scoring here. He smoked a double 105.3 mph off the bat as the second batter of the game to drive in a run and chipped in two more hits as the game wore on. Stuck in a bit of a slump until the past week, he’s hitting .310 with an .877 over his last seven games and could be ready to go on a hot streak.
