Summary
Batting practice. Not a game. Not a dive for a grounder. Batting practice put Carlos Correa and Yainer Diaz on the injured list in a 24-hour stretch. The Astros are 14-22 and held together with roster tape and spite.
Then Tuesday happened. Peter Lambert — released from his minor league deal in March, re-signed two days later, option number eight in a rotation that ran out of options — threw seven shutout innings against Shohei Ohtani and the defending champions. Brayden Shumake, only in the lineup because Correa got hurt warming up, hit Ohtani's first home run allowed all season. Final score 2-1. Best win of the year.

Prospect Spotlight: Jason Schiavone — the 11th round pick who cost $150,000 and leads the entire Astros organization with 11 home runs before May.
