Roberto Osuna on the mound for his first game with the Houston Astros<\/p><\/div>Roberto Osuna took to the mound in his first game with the Houston Astros and made a good impression with his new team, needing only five pitches for a perfect inning. After the Houston Astros<\/a> took went to bat in the ninth inning on Monday night, it was Marwin Gonzalez who hit a homer that saw three runs batted in and with two outs already set in stone, it saw Osuna earn his first win with the Astros as they defeated the Giants 3-1.<\/p>\n

Monday night\u2019s game was an important one for Osuna after coming off a 75 game suspension and being traded by the Blue Jays to the Astros. Osuna faced disciplinary action from the MLB over allegations and charges of domestic abuse in May of this year. While the charges are still pending, not many details surrounding the incident have been made public. Osuna is scheduled to appear in a Toronto court in early September to address those charges.<\/p>\n

Osuna, commenting on his new teammates and opportunities the trade gives him said,<\/p>\n

“Especially like being in such a great team with great teammates, it\u2019s easy to forget about the stuff that\u2019s going on off the field, and being able to play and help the team win is unbelievable. I really like my teammates. They\u2019ve been treating me with a lot of respect, and I\u2019m really comfortable.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Osuna<\/a> met with the Astros in a closed door meeting after he completed his 75 game suspension. For many analysts, they were displeased over the lack of information relating to the meeting, but more importantly, the fact that many feel a double standard is taken when it comes to the MLB versus the NBA. ESPN’s Stephen A. and Max were first to react and clearing were displeased with how the situation played out.<\/p>\n
