The Archives 2013

Astros 8
Mariners 3

I'm sure we all expected the offensive explosion at Safeco, or wait, it's possible we didn't.

While the club record remains 25 hits, Tuesday's game was only the fourth 22-hit game in team history, and Wednesday's game was the team's best follow-up, hitwise, to a 22-hit game ever.

Houston's 22-Hit Games
DateOpponentFollow Up Game
April 9, 2013 at Mariners 15 hits at M's
August 3, 2010 at Cardinals 7 hits at Cards
September 16, 2007 vs. Brewers 7 hits vs. Brewers
July 18, 1976 at Expos 12 hits at Expos

The 37 hits compiled over the two games at Safeco was tied for the fourth best two-game total in team history. The 1999 squad dropped 17, 12 and 21 on the Rockies over three road games in July of the year to set the three-game record, so if the club can manage 14 hits vs. the Angels Friday night, the lightly-regarded 2013 edition can take hold of the franchise's three-game cumulative hit record.
