It's official...the Astros have achieved lift-off, with five wins in a row (including an impressive sweep at Fenway Park), and scoring plenty of runs (33) in the process. Now the ball goes to Framber Valdez, in whose last eight starts the Astros have won, and with a 2.72 ERA since the start of July. Meanwhile, Taj Bradley's impressive string of starts for the Rays has taken a detour, allowing nine runs and 13 hits across 9 2/3 IP in his last two starts, both Tampa Bay losses.
