The Astros will play a home series at Tropicana Field:
The Astros will play their upcoming home series against the Rangers at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, because of flooding in Houston from Tropical Storm Harvey.
Major League Baseball officially announced the relocation of the three-game series Monday, saying the Astros “will be considered the home team and will bat last.”
The Associated Press reported earlier Monday that the Astros’ three-game home series against the Mets, which starts Friday, also will be played at Tropicana Field. But MLB announced that it has not yet determined a location for the Mets-Astros series.
Moving to a dome is needed because they don’t want these games threatened by rain.
I hope all the Houston readers of Baseball Musings are safe and sound. My thoughts are with you.
