Worth noting

The Astros' second-round pick of the 2014 First-Year Player Draft, Kentucky left-hander and first baseman A.J. Reed, on Saturday was awarded the Dick Howser Trophy, college baseball's equivalent of the Heisman Trophy, which is given to the nation's top college baseball player.

Reed led NCAA Division I in home runs (23), slugging percentage (.735) and OPS (1.211), while ranking second in total bases (164) and third in RBIs (73).

First baseman Jon Singleton is the second player in Astros history to hit four home runs in his first 11 games. J.D. Martinez (2011) was the first.

The Astros have the youngest Major League roster with an average age of 27.4. Baltimore is second at 27.6 and Atlanta third at 27.7.
