The Houston Astros hosted Dog Day on Sunday at Minute Maid Park. Dogs were welcomed in the ballpark where a mini dog fest took place that included vendors, a Frisbee dog demo, a dog parade, costume contest and more. The Astros also took on the Angels during this Player’s Weekend that saw the Astros sweep the visitors while sporting alternate uniforms with players’ nicknames. (Photos by Eric Sauseda)
