The Colt .45s return to Houston for an 11 game home stand, beginning with a three game series against the Milwaukee Braves. The Colt .45s are an abysmal 4-22 at home so far in their inaugural season. The Braves have won five straight. The Braves lead the season series 5-2.
Rumor has it that Cincinnati Reds LF Wally Post could be on the trading block.
