so far this year, even with several injured starting pitchers.

The Astros are limiting opposing hitters to a .182 average this season.

That's the lowest batting average allowed through 13 games of a season by an MLB team since the 1981 Oakland A's (.176).

MLB Trade Rumors update on Astros pitching roster

Ryan Gusto made his first career start last night and had somewhat of a rocky outing. He had pitched very well in 8 innings of relief so far this season.

Triple-A starter Colton Gordon could be called up (in what would be Gordon’s big league debut) to start if the club ultimately decides to keep Gusto in a relief role.
