Astros rise in power rankings after winning series against Tigers and Guardians

The Houston Astros improved their performance with a 4-2 week, winning consecutive series against the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Guardians. After struggling early in the season, their record now stands at 37-42, moving them up to fourth place in the AL West. Key to their recent success has been the return of closer Josh Hader, who has been effective since coming back earlier this month. The Astros aim to maintain their momentum in upcoming games against the Toronto Blue Jays and a rematch with the Tigers.
