It was a wholesome bonding activity for the Astros youngsters, who also had to deal with a light drizzle while carrying out their coffee mission.

Houston surely deserves cups of coffee — and more — with the way it performed against the Cubs in the series at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Ill. The Astros completed a sweep of the Cubs on Sunday with an 8-5 victory, thanks in large part to their offense.

Jake Meyers and Nick Allen had solo shots in the second and third innings, respectively, before Christian Walker launched a three-run homer in the fifth inning, as the Astros improved to 23-31.

Up next for Houston is a four-game series against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, that begins Monday.
