Isaac Paredes hit a two-run double in the eighth inning to propel the Houston Astros to a 9-7 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday at Daikin Park, securing a split of their four-game series. Following a rough MLB debut by starter Tatsuya Imai and building on Saturday's six-run comeback, the versatile infielder—starting at three positions early in 2026—capitalized behind Yordan Alvarez, earning praise from manager Joe Espada.
Ian Happ of the Chicago Cubs and Yordan Alvarez of the Houston Astros both lost potential home runs on MLB Opening Day due to unusual circumstances. Happ's deep fly ball was pushed back 113 feet by strong winds at Wrigley Field, while Alvarez's drive struck the rafters at Daikin Park and was ruled foul. Neither player recorded a home run as their teams suffered defeats.

Les Houston Astros envisagent de ramener le lanceur vétéran Justin Verlander pour un troisième passage au milieu de leur besoin de profondeur en rotation de lanceurs partants cette intersaison. Verlander, qui fêtera ses 43 ans en février, a eu une seconde moitié de saison solide avec les San Francisco Giants après avoir signé un contrat d'un an. Son succès passé à Houston en fait une option attrayante alors que l'équipe fait face à des pertes potentielles dans sa rotation.
