2012 Houston Astros season

The 2012 Houston Astros season was the 51st season for the Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise located in Houston, Texas, their 48th as the Astros, 51st in the National League (NL), 19th in the NL Central division, and 13th at Minute Maid Park, The Astros entered the season as having finished in last place in the NL Central with 56–106 record and games behind, the first time in franchise history they had lost at least 100 games.

The 2012 season was the Astros' final season as members of the National League. Per the approval of the sale of the team from Drayton McLane to Jim Crane by the league, the Astros agreed to move to the American League (AL), and to be situated in the American League West division, effective the following year. It was also the first season with Jeff Luhnow serving as general manager. On April 6, pitcher Wandy Rodríguez made the Opening Day start for the Astros, who hosted the Colorado Rockies, but were defeated, 5–3.

Second baseman Jose Altuve was selected to the MLB All-Star Game for the first time in his career, and played for the National League. In the first round of the June MLB draft, the Astros chose shortstop Carlos Correa as the first overall pick, and pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. at no. 41.

On August 18, manager Brad Mills was relieved of his duties and Tony DeFrancesco served in his place as interim manager. The Astros concluded the season in last place in the NL Central with a 55–107 record, 42 games out of first place. At the time, it established a new worst-record in franchise history, breaking the record set the season before, while being just the second year in which Houston had lost 100 or more games.

Summary

To pay homage and celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Houston Astros franchise, the players donned retro Colt .45s jerseys for play on April 10 and April 20. During the 1962, 1963, and 1964 seasons, Houston played as the Colt .45s prior to being renamed the Astros in 1965.

On April 13, Miami native J. D. Martinez hit the first-ever home run in the newly-opened Marlins Park. With a runner on in the eighth, he hit an Edward Mujica offering into the Clevelander Bar beyond the left-field wall to tie the contest with the team in their first season having been rebranded the Miami Marlins. Lucas Harrell also uncorked the first wild pitch at Marlins Park during this game.

The Astros' record on June 13 stood at 26–36 prior to play versus the San Francisco Giants. However, starter Matt Cain tossed his perfect game that day to defeat the Astros, 10–0.
