Box Score of the Week

A high scoring affair featuring the Milwaukee Brewers and Houston Astros on April 18, 2006.

----------------------------------

The Houston Astros came into existence in 1962 when they debuted as the Colt .45's. They reached the .500 mark that initial season, starting 6-6. 

Upon defeating the Brewers in that April 2006 contest, the franchise's record was 3,507 wins, 3,507 losses. Yes, it was the first time Houston's all-time mark was at .500 or better since that 6-6 record in their debut season -- a span of 44 years!
