He Left the Car Running: Reynaldo Delgado, Yordan's Grand Slam, and the Astros Are the Hottest Team in the American League

Reynaldo Delgado got optioned to Triple-A on Monday. Got called right back up Tuesday when Jeremy Peña landed on the IL with a calf strain. The man barely had time to find the Sugar Land parking lot. That's not a transaction. That's a guy who left the car running.
The bigger story is what's happening to this team. The Astros are 22-14 since May 21st — the best record in the American League over that stretch — after bottoming out at eleven games under .500. Yordan Álvarez hit a bases-loaded grand slam Tuesday against Minnesota as part of a six-run fourth inning. Tatsuya Imai struck out ten without a walk against Detroit. Christian Walker walked off the Tigers in extra innings. Miguel Olla made his MLB debut out of the bullpen touching 97.
Prospect Spotlight: Lucas Spence — undrafted out of Southern Illinois Edwardsville, signed for $150,000, now the Astros' number ten overall prospect after hitting .447 with four home runs and 19 RBIs in eleven games at Double-A.
