Strike Thrower Gordon Ready For Opportunity With Astros

HOUSTON -- When left-hander Colton Gordon makes his Major League debut in Wednesday’s series finale against the Royals at Daikin Park, he will be the fifth Astros starting pitcher to make his debut in the past two seasons. Gordon, the Astros’ No. 14 prospect, was 4-0 with a 2.55 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in eight starts this season at Triple-A Sugar Land.

“Strike-thrower,” Astros manager Joe Espada said. “Aggressive in the zone. He’s tough. I’m excited about it. He’s put himself in this position, and I think he matches up really well against [the Royals’] lineup. I’m looking forward to it.”
