The 2014 Houston Astros season was the 53th season for the Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise located in Houston, Texas, their 50th as the Astros, second in both the American League (AL) and AL West division, and 15th at Minute Maid Park. The Astros entered the season with three consecutive seasons each losing at least 106 games and a last-place finish, the only period to date in franchise history with 100 or more losses in any season.

Contents

Houston commenced their season by hosting the New York Yankees, with Scott Feldman making his first Opening Day start, and won, 6–2. The Astros' first round draft pick in the amateur draft was pitcher Brady Aiken, at number one overall, and in the sixth round, they chose outfielder Ramón Laureano.

Second baseman Jose Altuve represented the Astros at the 2014 MLB All-Star Game and played for the American League, his second career selection.

On September 1, Tom Lawless was named interim manager, the 22nd in franchise history, replacing Bo Porter, who had been fired.

With a 70–92 record and fourth-place finish, Houston improved by 19 wins from the previous season, ending a string of three consecutive last-place finishes, including avoiding a last-place finish in the AL West for the first time. It was the final season until 2020 in which the Astros failed to produce a winning record.

Altuve established the franchise record for hits (225), leading the major leagues, while becoming the first batting champion (.341) in franchise history. Altuve also received the Silver Slugger Award for the first time. Starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel won his first career Gold Glove Award. Outfielder George Springer was selected to the Topps All-Star Rookie Team.

Regular season

Summary

On May 26, rookie George Springer set new career-bests with four hits and five runs scored to lead a 9–2 win over the Kansas City Royals. One of the four hits was Springer's fourth home run in three games, helping inject new life into a club whose record stood at 17–32. [1]

The Astros signed Jon Singleton on June 2 to a 5-year, $10 million contract. At the time, this was the largest contract ever agreed to with a player who had yet to make his major league debut. [2] A key piece in the Hunter Pence trade, on June 3, Singleton made his major league debut, and launched a home run to lead a 7–2 win over the Los Angeles Angels. [3]

Springer was featured on the June 25 cover of Sports Illustrated , including a prediction of Houston's 2017 World Series championship. At the time, Springer had 14 home runs and 59 RBI, Jose Altuve was leading the major leagues in hits, while the Astros had occupied last place in the AL West with a 33–45 record. [4]

On August 30, Scott Feldman (8–10) tossed his second career shutout, a three-hitter to lead a 2–0 win over the Texas Rangers. The three-hitter matched a career-best, which Feldman tossed during his last shutout the season prior. The Astros scored twice in the seventh inning, keyed by Carlos Corporán's double to put runners at second and third. Jake Marisnick followed with an RBI infield single, and Corporán scored on a throwing error by reliver Phil Klein (0–2). [5]

On September 1, the Astros terminated manager Bo Porter and bench coach Dave Trembley as the team's record stood at 59–79 (.428). Porter was replaced on an interim basis by Tom Lawless, who had been managing the Astros' Triple-A affiliate, the Oklahoma City RedHawks. General manager Jeff Luhnow cited disagreements with Porter as the reason for his dismissal, rather than the team's on-field performance. Luhnow had "recognize[d] that our win-loss record is largely a product of an organizational strategy for which I am responsible. Rather, I made this decision because I believe we need a new direction in our clubhouse." [6]

On September 16, Jose Altuve recorded his 211th hit of the season to pass the record established by Craig Biggio in 1998. Altuve singled up the middle in the seventh inning in a 4–2 loss to the Cleveland Indians. [7]
