Minute Maid Park reopened Thursday to fans for the first time since Game 7 of the 2019 World Series, at 50 percent capacity of course. A total of 21,765 fans welcomed the home team. The Astros kept the wins coming by giving the home crowd a 6-2 win over the Oakland Athletics. They're 6-1 this season and tied for the best seven game start in franchise history.
