The 2010 Houston Astros season was the 49th season in the history of the franchise. The team, managed by first-year manager Brad Mills, began their 11th season at Minute Maid Park and 46th as the Astros on April 5. After finishing 74-88 the year before in 5th place, the Astros finished 76-86 in 4th place in 2010.

The Astros struggled to an 8-14 April, after starting the season 0-8. They finished April 8-14, despite a 3.92 ERA from their pitching staff. They lost the last four in April, as well as the first four in May for a second 8-game losing streak. They finished May with a 9-20 mark to give the Astros a 17-34 record over the first two months. The Astros rebounded to win 8 of their first 10 games in June, but struggled in Interleague Play, going 2-10 against the AL in June to finish 14-14 in June.

The Astros lone representative to the All-star Game was Michael Bourn, who was batting .255 with 28 stolen bases. The Astros traded away Roy Oswalt and Lance Berkman in late July for a total of 5 prospects, and ultimately the Astros went 13-11 in July. The Astros would go 34-27 after trading away Oswalt and Berkman. The Astros won the final four games of July and the first three of August for a season-high 7-game winning streak, capped by a season-high 18-4 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. The Astros would have their best month of the year in August by going 17-12, including a four-game sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies, the first time the Phillies were swept in Citizens Bank Park.[1] The Astros would experience their third consecutive winning month in September, going 14-13, however the poor months of April and May kept them out of contention down the stretch. They finished the season in Chicago to face the Cubs, losing 2 of 3, but still finishing 4th ahead of the Cubs.

Jeff Keppinger led the Astros in batting average with a .288 clip, while Hunter Pence led them in home runs (25) and RBIs (91). Brett Myers led the Astros in wins (14), ERA (3.14), and Strikeouts (180) in a career year, where he went 6 innings in his first 32 starts. Michael Bourn his 2nd consecutive Gold Glove Award to go along with his All-Star selection.

Regular season

April

The Astros began 2010 playing the San Francisco Giants at home, but lost 5-2 on Opening Day to Tim Lincecum, who pitched 7 shutout innings, and the Giants.[2] The Astros would drop the second one as well 4-0 to Barry Zito, who pitched six shutout innings[3] , and got swept at home the next game 10-4 after giving up 2 runs in the eighth and 4 in the ninth.[4] They lost to J.A. Happ, who pitched five shutout innings and would be traded in July to the Astros, and the Philadelphia Phillies 8-0 in the first game.[5] The Astros had a 5-4 lead going into the 7th inning in the second game, but gave up 3 runs in the 7th and 2 in the 9th and lost 9-6.[6] In the final game of the series, the Phillies's Roy Halladay pitched a complete game allowing only one run to win 2-1, to sweep the Astros and give them a six-game losing streak.[7] Going on the road for the first time this season, the Astros visited Busch Stadium to face the St. Louis Cardinals for a three-game series. The Astros lost 5-0 in game one of the series, as Adam Wainwright pitched 8 shutout innings to get the win.[8] In the second game, the Astros scored 1 in the first and the Cardinals scored 2 in the first. Those would be the only runs scored in the game, as the Cardinals won 2-1.[9] The Astros were in danger of being swept by the Cardinals, until the Astros won 5-1 on the back of Bud Norris's 5 innings, allowing only 1 unearned run.[10] This win snapped an 8-game losing streak to begin the season, in which they failed to score in 3 of the games and scored 1 run or less 5 times. The Astros went to Wrigley Field in Chicago to face the Chicago Cubs and dropped the first one 7-2, giving up 6 runs in the bottom of the 7th.[11] The Astros won 4-3 in the next game, with Roy Oswalt throwing 7 shutout innings.[12] In the next game, the Astros won a 10-inning game in the series finale 3-2, rallying for 1 run each in the 8th, 9th, and 10th innings, with the winning run scoring on a Pedro Feliz sacrifice fly, to win their first series of the season.[13]

The Astros would head back home for 9 games, starting with 3 against the Florida Marlins. The Astros won the first game 7-5, scoring 3 in the bottom of the 8th to break a 4-4 tie.[14] In the next game, the Astros won 5-4, on a Geoff Blum 2-RBI triple to rally the Astros from a 4-3 deficit.[15] In the next game, the Marlins won 5-1 after putting up 3 runs in the 1st, snapping the Astros's 4-game winning streak.[16] The Astros would then face the Pittsburgh Pirates at home, and won the first game 4-3.[17] In the next game, a Lance Berkman line drive would hit the pitcher Chris Jakubauskas in the head.[18] Fortunately, he would be fine, after being hospitalized. The Astros would win that game 5-2.[19] In the final game of the series, the Astros put up 10 runs and won 10-3, despite Pittsburgh outhitting the Astros 14-10, to secure the Astros first series sweep of the season, and their third consecutive series win.[20] The Astros outscored the Pirates 19-8 on the backs of great pitching by Roy Oswalt, Wandy Rodriguez, and Brett Myers, who combined to give up only 5 earned runs over 20.1 innings pitched over the course of the series. After the last game, the Astros had won 7 out of their last 8 games and were 8-10, in 3rd place in the NL Central, and only 3 games back from the Cardinals. Unfortunately for the Astros, this hot streak would end soon. In the next game against the Cincinnati Reds, the Astros lost 6-2.[21] In the next game, the Astros rallied for 3 in the 9th but still lost 6-4.[22] In the series finale, the Astros lost 4-2, being swept for the third time in seven series this season.[23] Going to Turner Field to face the Atlanta Braves, and lost 4-2 again to conclude April with an 8-14 mark, and a four-game losing streak.[24]

May

The Astros would continue to struggle into May, losing 10-1 to the Braves.[25] In the series finale, the Braves finished the sweep by winning 7-1, giving the Astros their sixth loss in a row.[26] Going back home, the Astros lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-1, failing to score more than one run for the third consecutive game.[27] In the second game, the Diamondbacks won 1-0 from 6.2 shutout innings from Ian Kennedy.[28] This gave the Astros an eight-game losing streak, during which they had been outscored 45-13. In game three, the Astros walked-off in the bottom of the 9th off a 2-run home run from Carlos Lee, giving the Astros a 4-2 win.[29] In the last game, the Astros lost 6-3 after falling 5-0 back after the Diamondbacks finished hitting in the fourth inning.[30] In the first game against the San Diego Padres, Mat Latos pitched eight shutout innings allowing only two hits as the Astros lost 7-0, and only recording 3 hits.[31] The second game was a pitcher's duel, with the Astros losing 2-1, and the starters, Jon Garland for the Padres and Felipe Paulino for the Astros, combined to allow one earned run in 14 innings between them.[32] The Astros avoided the sweep with a 4-3 win in 11 innings, on a Hunter Pence walk-off hit to drive in Berkman.[33] The Astros went to St. Louis to play the Cardinals and won the first game 6-3, thanks in part to a 4-run 7th inning.[34] The Astros won for the third straight game 9-6 in the next game with another big inning, the one a 5-run 4th inning.[35] The Astros got their third game in a row in which they scored four or more in an inning, winning 4-1 with Pence getting a 3-run home run.[36] After the sweep, the Astros went to AT&T Park to face the Giants with a four-game winning streak, but lost 9-3 in the opener.[37] The second game was a rematch of opening day pitchers Lincecum and Oswalt, with Lincecum winning 2-1 off of a 2-run home run off the bat of Juan Uribe.[38] The Giants won another close game 4-3 against the Astros to seal the three-game sweep.[39]

The Astros went to Dodger Stadium to play the Los Angeles Dodgers, losing the first game 6-2.[40] Bud Norris would get hit with six earned runs in the next game, as the Astros lost 7-3 to conclude the short two-game series, with the Astros getting swept for the second consecutive series.[41] The Astros came back home to face the Colorado Rockies for another two-game series, and won the first game 7-3, with a 4-run 8th involving a Jeff Keppinger 3-run double.[42] In the next game, the Astros only got three hits for the second time this month, with Ubaldo Jimenez starting and going seven innings, as the Rockies won 4-0 for the series split.[43] The Astros kicked off Interleague Play against the Tampa Bay Rays, winning 2-1 despite a complete game thrown by Rays starter Matt Garza.[44] The Rays would win game two of the series 4-2, though, to tie the series at one each.[45] In contrast to the first two games, which were low-scoring, the series finale was a high-scorer, with the Rays winning 10-6.[46] The Astros went to Miller Park to play the Milwaukee Brewers, losing 6-1 against former Astro Randy Wolf.[47] The Astros got a great start from Oswalt, who pitched eight shutout innings, and won 5-0.[48] The Astros lost the series finale 4-3 in 10 innings, with Rickie Weeks drawing a walk-off walk against Matt Lindstrom to win the game, after Lindstrom gave up the game-tying run in the bottom of the 9th.[49] The Astros traveled to Great American Ballpark to face the Reds, losing 15-6 against Sam LeCure, who was making his Major League debut.[50] The Reds continued to score runs next game, scoring 12 runs as the Reds won 12-2.[51] In the next game, Paulino did what Wandy Rodriguez and Brian Moehler, who started the first two games, failed to do: shut down the Reds batters. Paulino pitched eight shutout innings but did not get the win as the Astros did not score until a Berkman 2-RBI double in the top of the 10th, as the Astros won 2-0.[52] To finish May, the Astros lost 14-4 to the Washington Nationals back home, with Oswalt being ejected in the 3rd inning, though Gustavo Chacin hit his first career home run for his first career hit.[53] The Astros finished May with a 9-20 mark, and a 17-34 mark on the season overall.
