How the Astros finally conquered the gap between media and reality
Space Cowboy at the Heights House Hotel will begin the first of many Astros-themed events, with an Opening Day party in collaboration with Apollo Media featuring a 17-foot big screen, tacos inspired by Astros players, an Astros ticket raffle (win tickets to Astros vs. Toronto Blue Jays on April 23) and drink specials.
The event takes place at Space Cowboy on Thursday, April 7, 2022, 6 p.m. - midnight and is located at 100 W. Cavalcade St., Houston, TX 77009.
Here's what to expect: Astros fans celebrating the start of MLB season; Astros-inspired tacos including the “Altuve” (named after Jose Altuve; featuring Venezuelan pulled beef, black refried beans, red bell pepper pico de gallo, sweet plantain), “Breggy Bomb” (Alex Bregman; New Mexican green chile chicken, tempura fried avocado, shredded red cabbage, queso) and “La Piña” (Yuli Gurriel; roasted citrus pork, black refried beans, shredded red cabbage, pineapple pico de gallo); 17-foot TV screen on a pool-adjacent 6,000-square-foot patio at the tropical hotel bar.
About Space Cowboy: Located at 100 W. Cavalcade St. in the recently renovated Heights House Hotel, Space Cowboy was the first concept by owner and beverage director Greg Perez as part of the Night Moves Hospitality collective. A tropical take on the classic hotel bar, the concept serves fruit-forward boozy cocktails led by Bar Manager Sam Ruiz and Mexican-American fare by Chef Adriana Maldonado. Featuring a pool-adjacent 6,000-square-foot patio, Space Cowboy is part staycation getaway, part local watering hole. The bar is open from noon to 2 a.m., seven days a week.

Peraza entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and hit a bases-loaded fly ball to deep right field that eluded the outstretched glove of Cam Smith. It was the fourth straight hit off Astros closer Bryan Abreu (3-4), who had not allowed a run in his previous 12 appearances.
The Angels third run of the ninth inning scored when Mike Trout walked with the bases loaded.
Kyle Hendricks allowed one run while scattering seven hits over six innings. He held the Astros to 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the one hit coming on Jesús Sánchez’s third-inning infield single that scored Jeremy Peña.
Reid Detmers worked around a leadoff walk to keep the Astros scoreless in the seventh, and José Fermin (3-2) retired the side in order in the eighth before Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth to earn his 24th save.
