The 2019 Houston Astros season was the 58th season for the Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise located in Houston, Texas, their 55th as the Astros, seventh in both the American League (AL) and AL West division, and 20th at Minute Maid Park. They entered the season as having set a franchise record with 103 wins, defending two-time AL West champions, both with 100 or more wins, an unprecedented feat for Houston. Having reached a second consecutive American League Championship Series (ALCS), their 2018 season ended in a 4-games-to-1 loss to the eventual World Series champion Boston Red Sox.
Starting the 2019 season, the Houston Astros began airing their weekly night games on KTRH 740. On March 28, Justin Verlander made his second Opening Day start for the Astros at Tropicana Field, who defeated the Tampa Bay Rays, 5âÂÂ1. Outfielder and designated hitter Yordan Alvarez made his major league debut in June, set a number of records and rare feats, and proceeded to win the AL Rookie of the Month Award each of his first three months.
For the third consecutive season, the Astros sent six players to the All-Star Game held at Progressive Field in Cleveland, the most in baseball, including four starters: Alex Bregman, Michael Brantley, Justin Verlander, and George Springer; pitchers Gerrit Cole and Ryan Pressly were also selected.
At the July trade deadline, the Astros acquired starting pitchers Zack GreinkeâÂÂadding a seventh 2019 All-Star to their rosterâÂÂand Aaron Sanchez. In his Astros debut on August 3, Sanchez tossed the first six innings of a combined no-hitter versus the Seattle Mariners, while Greinke was 8âÂÂ1 with a 3.02 earned run average (ERA) over 10 starts for Houston. On September 1, Verlander pitched his third career no-hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays while striking out 14. The 12th and 13th no-hitters in club history, it marked the first time that Houston authored two in the same season. Verlander also recorded his 3,000th career strikeout on September 28, and, along with Cole, became just the second teammate duo to achieve the 300 strikeout club, joining the 2002 Arizona Diamondbacks.
On September 18, the Astros clinched a postseason berth against the Texas Rangers and became the first team since the 2002âÂÂ2004 New York Yankees to produce three consecutive 100-win seasons. On September 22, the Astros clinched their third straight AL West title. For the first time in franchise history, the Astros led baseball with the best regular-season record of 107âÂÂ55, surpassing the club record of 103 wins set the season before. The AL West title signaled the 13th playoff appearanceâÂÂthe fourth since moving to the American LeagueâÂÂand 10th division title in franchise history.
In the American League Division Series (ALDS), Houston defeated the Tampa Bay Rays by a margin of three games to two. They proceeded to defeat the Yankees in the ALCS by a margin of four games to two, capped by ALCS MVP Jose Altuve's deep series-ending, walk-off home run. Hence, the Astros secured their second AL pennant, third league pennant overall, and a trip to the World Series for the second time in three years. However, Houston were defeated by the Washington Nationals in seven games.
Following the season, Verlander was recognized with his second career Cy Young Award, while becoming the fourth Astro to garner the award. The Astros led the league with a record six players selected to 2019's inaugural All-MLB Team, including Altuve, Alvarez, Bregman, Cole, Greinke and Verlander. Bregman, Springer and Greinke were each honored with Silver Slugger Awards, while Greinke also earned a Gold Glove. Meanwhile, Alvarez was opted as the AL Rookie of the Year.
This was the Astros' final season with A. J. Hinch as manager and Jeff Luhnow as general manager; both were fired in January 2020 after MLB investigators confirmed that the team had used electronics to steal opponentsâ signs back in the 2017 regular season.
Following the 2018 season, the Houston Astros announced that their weekly night games would air on KTRH 740.
On March 24, 2019, the Astros signed right-handed pitcher Justin Verlander to a two-year, $66 million contract extension to keep him with Houston through the 2021 season.
In the March 28 contest versus the Tampa Bay Rays, Justin Verlander made his 11th career Opening Day start, and second consecutive for the Astros, earning a 5âÂÂ1 victory versus reigning Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell.
On April 3 versus the Texas Rangers, Carlos Correa collected the 500th hit of his career.
In April 9 game against the New York Yankees, Jose Altuve connected for his 100th career home run off Jonathan Loáisiga in a 6âÂÂ3 win. Altuve became the 16th player in Astros history to reach 100 home runs. On April 12, Altuve connected for his second career grand slam, and first since 2014, in a 10âÂÂ6 win over the Seattle Mariners. He hit another home run the next night off Félix Hernández, homering for the fifth consecutive game and sixth home run in that span. Altuve was the first Astro to hit a home run in five consecutive games since Morgan Ensberg's franchise-record six consecutive games in 2006. Verlander, the starting pitcher, struck out eight of the first 10 batters that he faced and 11 of 20 overall. He allowed one run in six innings.
From April 20âÂÂ30, Alex Bregman tied a club record by drawing at least one base on balls in each of 11 consecutive contests. Bregman drew 13 total walks with this active streak, while slashing .229 / .440 / .457 / .897. He also slammed 2 home runs. First achieved by Jimmy Wynn from July 6âÂÂ15, 1969, Joe Morgan replicated the feat for Houston from July 6âÂÂ20, 1970.
With rain seeping through the roof on Minute Maid Park on May 9, Josh Reddick singled in the game-tying run that led to a 4âÂÂ2 win over Texas. Further, he robbed former Astro Hunter Pence of an imminent three-run blast. George Springer went 5-for-5 on May 12, including clubbing two home runs to lead a 15âÂÂ5 win over the Rangers. The performance also helped Houston pull off a four-game sweep of Texas.
On May 22, the Chicago White Sox routed the Astros, 9âÂÂ4, including roughing up Gerrit Cole (4âÂÂ5, 4.11 earned run average, ERA) for six runs over six frames, which saddled him with the loss. However, this was Cole's final defeat for remainder of the 2019 regular season, also Houston's 50th game of the year. Just twice over his final 22 starts did he yield more than two runs (four each). Cole was not charged with another defeat until Game 1 of the World Series later in the year, his fourth start in the playoffs, after having won each of the first three.
Closer Roberto Osuna converted his 25th consecutive save on May 24, breaking a club record. The streak had started the previous August 18, surpassing Brad Lidge (24 consecutive from June 21âÂÂSeptember 28, 2005). Osuna's feat remained the franchise longest until Josh Hader converted 29 consecutive from April 7 to August 29, 2024.
With injuries stacking up, on May 29 shortstop Carlos Correa sustained a bruised rib during a massage session. He was forced to join fellow All-Stars Springer and Jose Altuve on the injured list (IL) and expected to miss four to six weeks.
On May 30, A. J. Hinch won his 500th game as manager.
On June 9, Yordan Alvarez made his major league debut versus the Baltimore Orioles. He went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in his debut. The following game, Alvarez again homered, this time versus Matt Albers of the Milwaukee Brewers. He became the first Astro to homer in both of his first two games.
Alvarez became the fourth player in MLB history to hit four home runs in his first five career games when he homered off Clayton Richard of the Toronto Blue Jays, joining Trevor Story, Yasiel Puig and Mike Jacobs. On June 23, Alvarez hit a 2-run home run for his seventh home run of the season in only 12 games, establishing an Astros franchise record. He also became the first player in MLB history to drive in 16 runs in his first 12 games.
Righty Gerrit Cole concluded the month of June with a 3âÂÂ0 record, 1.89 earned run average (ERA), and 49 whiffs over six starts. He worked 38 innings, allowed 29 hits and 1.026 walks plus hits per inning pitched (WHIP). Hence, he was recognized as American League (AL) Pitcher of the Month. It was the first time he had won since April 2015, in the National League, as a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The most recent Astro to win was Verlander in May of the previous campaign.
Meanwhile, Yordan Alvarez concluded his first month in the major leagues with a .317 batting average / .406 on-base percentage (OBP) / .733 slugging percentage (SLG) / 1.139 on-base plus slugging (OPS) over 16 games. Alvarez connected for 7 home runs, 21 runs batted in (RBI), and 44 total bases.. Hence, he received AL Rookie of the Month honors for June, succeeding Yuli Gurriel in July 2017 as the most recent Astro to win the award.
Yuli Gurriel became the first Astro to score a run and RBI in seven consecutive games, and the fifth to homer in five consecutive games on July 7, including a game-tying grand slam in an 11âÂÂ10 win versus the Los Angeles Angels. He won the AL Player of the Week Award for the week ending July 8, his second weekly honor. He homered six times in all five of the Astros games, collecting nine hits with an OPS of 1.812.
For the third successive season, six players represented Houston at the All-Star Game, hosted at Progressive Field in Cleveland, the most in baseball. Four starters were named, including Alex Bregman, Michael Brantley, Justin Verlander, and George Springer. Pitchers Gerrit Cole and Ryan Pressly also were reserves.
During a contest versus the St. Louis Cardinals on July 28, Jose Altuve homered for his 1,500th career hit, one of three hits in a 6âÂÂ2 win that afternoon, in his 1,190th career game. The only players in the divisional play era to reach the milestone faster were Ichiro Suzuki, Wade Boggs, Kirby Puckett, Nomar Garciaparra, Tony Gwynn and Derek Jeter.
For the month of July, Gurriel batted .398, .427 OBP, .837 SLG, 18 runs scored, seven doubles, 12 home runs, 31 RBIs over 24 games.
Prior to the trade deadline on July 31, the Astros made three separate trades. From the Arizona Diamondbacks, they acquired right-handed pitcher Zack Greinke for right-handers J. B. Bukauskas and Corbin Martin, outfielder Seth Beer and infielder Joshua Rojas. From the Toronto Blue Jays, the Astros received right-handers Joe Biagini and Aaron Sanchez and minor league OF Cal Stevenson for OF Derek Fisher. Additionally, the Astros sent catcher Max Stassi to the Los Angeles Angels for minor league outfielders Rainier Rivas and Raider Uceta.
MLB named three Astros as winners of three of four AL monthly awards for July, including Gurriel as Player of the Month, Gerrit Cole as Pitcher of the Month, and Alvarez as Rookie of the Month.
On August 3, Sanchez and Biagini, both making their Astros debuts, tossed part of a combined no-hitter of the Seattle Mariners, along with Will Harris and Chris Devenski, to lead a 9âÂÂ0 win. It was the twelfth no-hitter in club history overall, the second combined, and first no-hitter for each pitcher. Sanchez started and worked the first six innings with six strikeouts and two walks allowed, and Harris, Biagini, and Devenski each followed with one inning apiece. The Astros lineup got 15 hits, with Jose Altuve connecting for his 18th home run, and Michael Brantley went 3-for-5 with four RBI and two doubles.
This no-hitter was the first for the Astros since August 21, 2015, by Mike Fiers, a 3âÂÂ0 triumph over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Houston pitched their first combined no-hitter on June 11, 2003, a six-man effort started by Roy Oswalt at the original Yankee Stadium, which resulted in an 8âÂÂ0 victory.
Just four weeks later, Verlander pitched Houston's next no-hitter.
On August 4, Verlander struck out 10 batters over 6 innings in a 3âÂÂ1 win over the Mariners. With this 10-K performance, Verlander surpassed 200 strikeouts in a season for the ninth time in his career. He joined Nolan Ryan, Randy Johnson, Roger Clemens, Tom Seaver, Pedro Martinez, and Bob Gibson as the only pitchers with nine or more seasons of 200+ strikeouts. All but Clemens and Verlander (ineligible at the time due to still being active) were in the Hall of Fame.
In a 14âÂÂ3 romp over the Colorado Rockies on August 7, Gurriel homered and tied J. R. Towles with eight RBIs for the club record in one game.
The Astros set a franchise record with 23 runs scored on August 10 at Camden Yards versus the Baltimore Orioles, In the 23âÂÂ2 win, they also set the franchise record for extra base hits with 13, including six home runs. Three of the home runs came via rookie Yordan Alvarez, including a grand slam. With a career-high seven runs driven in, his total stood at 51 to establish the major league record for the first 45 games.
On August 15, Carlos Correa hit his 100th career home run in 7âÂÂ6 loss to the Athletics at Oakland Coliseum. He joined Cal Ripken Jr. and Alex Rodriguez as the only major league shortstops to hit 100 career home runs before their 25th birthday. He was also the youngest Astro to hit the milestone home run.
Sanchez was removed from his fourth start for the Astros on August 20 after innings due to pectoral muscle tightness, and later underwent surgery, prematurely ending his season.
In the September 1 contest versus the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, Verlander pitched his third career no-hitter, the second of the season for the Astros, and 13th in team history. He allowed one baserunner, a walk to Cavan Biggio in the first inning, and struck out 14 batters. The Astros' only runs came on a two-run home run by Abraham Toro in the top of the ninth inning. This was also Verlander's second career no-hitter against the Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre, making him just the third pitcher of the modern era to no-hit the same team twice, and the first to pitch both no-hitters against the same team on the road. He is the sixth pitcher to throw three or more no-hitters in his career.
With the SanchezâÂÂHarrisâÂÂBiaginiâÂÂDevenski combined no-hitter on August 3, along with Verlander's on September 1, the 2019 Astros became the 15th MLB squad to assemble multiple no-hitters within the same campaignâÂÂalso tying the MLB record. The first in franchise history, they were the 10th club in AL history. In 2022, the Astros replicated this feat, establishing the MLB record for shortest gap between such seasons. Overall, the Boston Red Sox franchise has the most campaigns of this type of achievement, with 3 (1904, 1916, and 1962).
On September 7, Verlander continued his dominance, reaching 32 consecutive batters retired, a streak that established an Astros franchise record and was tied by teammate Ryan Pressly in 2022.
On September 8, Gerrit Cole struck out 15 batters over eight innings in a 21âÂÂ1 victory over the Seattle Mariners. He became just the second pitcher to strike out 14 or more hitters in three consecutive games, joining Pedro MartÃÂnez in 1999. It was the sixth outing of the season of at least 10 strikeouts and no walks for Cole, tying the major league record. The 15 strikeouts tied Verlander's Minute Maid Park record, set earlier in the season on June 12 versus the Brewers. It was Cole's 12 consecutive decision won, dating back to May 27, with the Astros going 16âÂÂ2 in those 18 starts.
The Astros established a major league record on September 9 by hitting six home runs within the first two innings of a 15âÂÂ0 rout of the A's. Robinson Chirinos and Yordan Alvarez each homered twice, and Alex Bregman, Jose Altuve, and Michael Brantley all added home runs to give the Astros a club record-tying seven in the game. Alvarez (24) passed Correa for the club rookie record for home runs, while increasing his RBI total to 72, which tied for second-highest total through the first 71 games of a career in major league history. Former Astro Mike Fiers (14âÂÂ4), starting for Oakland, allowed career-highs of both nine runs and five home runs on nine hits in one-plus innings. Combined with the 21-run output the day before versus Seattle, the Astros established a club record with 36 runs scored over two games, including 32 runs over a nine-inning span. The 32 runs were second in major league history within a nine-inning span only to the 2007 Texas Rangers, which included a record 30âÂÂ3 win over Baltimore, per the Elias Sports Bureau.
The following day, on September 10, the Athletics routed Houston, 21âÂÂ7, tying their franchise with 25 hits, last achieved in 1969. Astros starter Wade Miley (13âÂÂ5) had got just one out when pulled in the first after the A's led 6âÂÂ0, following his last start in Seattle where he had allowed five runs without recording any outs. Still, it was his first loss since June 17. The Astros became the first MLB team since the Cleveland Spiders in 1893 to play three consecutive contests decided by 14 or more runs each. George Springer hit a leadoff home run for Houston, and connected again in the third inning, with both drives of Tanner Roark. The second drive was Houston's 250th of the season, to set a club record, surpassing the 2000 squad. MartÃÂn Maldonado also connected during the fifth and ninth innings, raising the team total to 252 by the end of the contest.
On September 18 versus Texas, Cole struck out his 300th batter of the season, Shin-Soo Choo, in a 3âÂÂ2 win. Cole became the 18th major leaguer and third Astros pitcher to reach the milestone, following J. R. Richard (303 in 1978 and 313 in 1979) and Mike Scott (306 in 1986). Cole also became the second-fastest pitcher to register 300 strikeouts in terms of innings pitched; his innings trailed only Randy Johnson's IP in 2001. The win, the Astros' 100th of the season, clinched at least a share of a Wild Card berth, and made them the sixth team in history to win at least 100 games in three consecutive seasons. The Astros clinched the AL West division title at Minute Maid Park on September 22, their 102nd win of the year, third straight division title, and first three-peat since the 1997âÂÂ1999 seasons. Justin Verlander and George Springer led a 13âÂÂ5 defeat of the Los Angeles Angels. Verlander won his 20th game of the season, Springer connected for three home runs, Yordan Alvarez collected four hits, and Aledmys DÃÂaz added a three-run home run.
Will Harris tossed an immaculate inning in the eighth inning versus the Angels on September 27.
On September 28, Verlander struck out the Angels' Kole Calhoun to register both his 3000th career strikeout and 300th on the season. Verlander and Cole became the second teammate duo since Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling with the 2002 Arizona Diamondbacks to reach 300 strikeouts.
Gerrit Cole concluded the season on a personal 16-game winning streak.
The Astros also clinched home field advantage throughout the MLB postseason on September 28.
Having roared to club-record 107 victories while winning the third of three division titles for the second time in franchise history (1997âÂÂ1999 National League Central division titles), manager A. J. Hinch likewise joined Larry Dierker as the second Houston manager to guide the Astros to such a feat. Hinch also became the first Astros manager to guide his club to three consecutive 100-win seasons, while having broken the club record for wins for a second consecutive year (103 in 2018 and 107 in 2019).
The Astros' slugging percentage of .495 set the major league record. They led the major leagues in bases on balls (645 BB), batting average (.274) and on-base percentage (.352 OBP), while surrendering the second-fewest runs (640), and ranked second in fielding percentage (.988). Houston pitching fanned the most hitters (1,671), while their lineup were retired via the fewest strikeouts (1,166). They also hit 288 home runs to set a club record, surpassing the 249 bombs by the 2000 squad.
Verlander and Cole, anchoring the starting rotation, became just the second pair of teammates to attain 300 or more strikeouts during the same season, while becoming the first to turn each of 300 strikeouts, sub-3.00 earned run average (ERA) and 20 or more wins. The 300-strikeout and 20-win thresholds were first achieved by Randy Johnson (24âÂÂ5 WâÂÂL, 2.32 ERA, 334 K) and Curt Schilling (23âÂÂ7 WâÂÂL, 3.23 ERA, 316 K) as members of the 2002 Arizona Diamondbacks. Further, Verlander and Cole virtually replicated each other's production, combining to lead the AL in the pitching Triple Crown categories, and led or placed in the top five in virtually every other measure. VerlanderâÂÂwho led MLB in wins (21), and finished second to Cole in MLB in strikeouts (326 to 300) and in the AL in ERA (2.50 to 2.58)âÂÂclinched his second American League Cy Young Award. Cole's second-place finish signaled one of the closest Cy Young votes in history.
Verlander and Cole joined Mike Hampton and José Lima (22 games won and 21, respectively, in 1999) as the second 20-game winner duo for the Astros.
Verlander became the fifth Astros pitcher to lead the league in wins (21), following Joe Niekro in 1979 (21), Mike Scott in 1989 (20), Mike Hampton in 1999 (22), and Roy Oswalt in 2004 (20).
In addition to setting the franchise record for the strikeouts (326), Cole led the AL, the seventh time an Astros hurler headlined the league, and fifth pitcher overall. Preceding him in this achievement included J. R. Richard (twice) in 1978 (303) and in 1979 (313), Mike Scott in 1986 (306), Nolan Ryan (twuce) in 1987 (270) and in 1988 (228), and Verlander in 2018 (290). Cole became the fifth Astro to lead all of baseball, following Richard (1987 and !979), Scott (1986), Ryan (1987) and Randy Johnson (1998).
Moreover, Cole finished as the AL ERA leader at 2.50, the eighth time by a Houston pitcher, and seventh individual Houston pitcher overall. Preceding Cole were J. R. Richard in 1979 (2.71), Nolan Ryan (twice) in 1981 (1.69) and 1987 (2.76), Mike Scott in 1986 (2.22), Danny Darwin in 1990 (2.21), Roger Clemens in 2005 (1.87), and Roy Oswalt in 2006 (2.98).
As the AL leader in strikeouts and ERA, Cole assembled the fourth season in which an Astros pitcher claimed two-thirds of the pitching Triple Crown (Richard in 1979, Scott in 1986, and Ryan in 1987). Along with Verlander as the AL wins leader, it was the second time in franchise history that Astros pitching claimed each of the three individual Triple Crown categories, following the 1979 team: J. Richard with 313 strikeouts and 2.71 ERA, and Joe Niekro with 21 wins.
In winning the Cy Young Award, Verlander became the fourth Astros pitcher so recognized, and second since realigning to the American League. Previous Astros winners included Mike Scott (1986 in the National League (NL)), Roger Clemens (2004 NL), and Dallas Keuchel (2015 AL). Verlander's second Cy Young, he had previously won as a member of the Detroit Tigers in 2011, also the year in which he won the pitching Triple Crown.
Cole was recognized with The Sporting News AL Pitcher of the Year Award, the fourth Astro to receive this honor, following Joe Niekro in 1979, Mike Scott in 1986, and Mike Hampton in 1999.
