Regular season

Summary

April

;Opening Day starting lineup

The Astros began 2010 playing the San Francisco Giants at home, but lost 5–2 on Opening Day to Tim Lincecum, who pitched 7 shutout innings and earning the win for the Giants. The Astros would drop the second one as well 4–0 to Barry Zito, who pitched six shutout innings, and got swept at home the next game 10–4 after giving up 2 runs in the eighth and 4 in the ninth.

They lost to J. A. Happ, who pitched five shutout innings and would be traded in July to the Astros, and the Philadelphia Phillies 8–0 in the first game. The Astros had a 5–4 lead going into the 7th inning in the second game, but gave up 3 runs in the 7th and 2 in the 9th and lost 9–6. In the final game of the series, the Phillies' Roy Halladay pitched a complete game allowing only one run to win 2–1, to sweep the Astros and give them a six-game losing streak.

Going on the road for the first time this season, the Astros visited Busch Stadium to face the St. Louis Cardinals for a three-game series. The Astros lost 5–0 in game one of the series, as Adam Wainwright pitched 8 shutout innings to get the win. In the second game, the Astros scored 1 in the first and the Cardinals scored 2 in the first. Those would be the only runs scored in the game, as the Cardinals won 2–1. The Astros were in danger of being swept by the Cardinals, until the Astros won 5–1 on the back of Bud Norris's 5 innings, allowing only 1 unearned run. This win snapped an 8-game losing streak to begin the season, in which they failed to score in 3 of the games and scored 1 run or less 5 times.

The Astros journeyed to Wrigley Field in Chicago to face the Cubs, but dropped the first contest of the set, 7–2, following a 6-run implosion in the bottom of the 7th. The Astros won 4–3 in the next game, with Roy Oswalt throwing 7 shutout innings. In the next game, the Astros won a 10-inning game in the series finale 3–2, rallying for 1 run each in the 8th, 9th, and 10th innings, with the winning run scoring on a Pedro Feliz sacrifice fly, to win their first series of the season.

The Astros would head back home for 9 games, starting with 3 against the Florida Marlins. The Astros won the first game 7–5, scoring 3 in the bottom of the 8th to break a 4–4 tie. In the next game, the Astros won 5–4, on a Geoff Blum 2-RBI triple to rally the Astros from a 4–3 deficit. In the next game, the Marlins won 5–1 after putting up 3 runs in the 1st, snapping the Astros's 4-game winning streak. The Astros would then face the Pittsburgh Pirates at home, and won the first game 4–3. In the next game, a Lance Berkman line drive would hit the pitcher Chris Jakubauskas in the head. Fortunately, he would be fine, after being hospitalized. The Astros would win that game 5–2. In the final game of the series, the Astros put up 10 runs and won 10–3, despite Pittsburgh outhitting the Astros 14–10, to secure the Astros first series sweep of the season, and their third consecutive series win. The Astros outscored the Pirates 19–8 on the backs of great pitching by Roy Oswalt, Wandy Rodríguez, and Brett Myers, who combined to give up only 5 earned runs over 20.1 innings pitched over the course of the series. After the last game, the Astros had won 7 out of their last 8 games and were 8–10, in 3rd place in the NL Central, and only 3 games back from the Cardinals. Unfortunately for the Astros, this hot streak would end soon. In the next game against the Cincinnati Reds, the Astros lost 6–2. In the next game, the Astros rallied for 3 in the 9th but still lost 6–4. In the series finale, the Astros lost 4–2, being swept for the third time in seven series this season.

Going to Turner Field to face the Atlanta Braves, and lost 4–2 again to conclude April with an 8–14 mark, and a four-game losing streak.

May

The Astros would continue to struggle into May, losing 10–1 to the Braves. In the series finale, the Braves finished the sweep by winning 7–1, giving the Astros their sixth loss in a row. Going back home, the Astros lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks 9–1, failing to score more than one run for the third consecutive game. In the second game, the Diamondbacks won 1–0 from 6.2 shutout innings from Ian Kennedy. This gave the Astros an eight-game losing streak, during which they had been outscored 45–13. In game three, the Astros walked-off in the bottom of the 9th off a 2-run home run from Carlos Lee, giving the Astros a 4–2 win. It was Lee's first home run of the season after 27 games. In the series finale, the Astros lost 6–3 after falling 5–0 back after the Diamondbacks finished hitting in the fourth inning.

In the first game against the San Diego Padres, Mat Latos pitched eight shutout innings allowing only two hits as the Astros lost 7–0, and only recording 3 hits. The second game was a pitcher's duel, with the Astros losing 2–1, and the starters, Jon Garland for the Padres and Felipe Paulino for the Astros, combined to allow one earned run in 14 innings between them. The Astros avoided the sweep with a 4–3 win in 11 innings, on a Hunter Pence walk-off hit to drive in Berkman.

The Astros went to St. Louis to play the Cardinals and won the first game 6–3, thanks in part to a 4-run 7th inning. The Astros won for the third straight game 9–6 in the next game with another big inning, the one a 5-run 4th inning. The Astros got their third game in a row in which they scored four or more in an inning, winning 4–1 with Pence getting a 3-run home run.

After the sweep, the Astros traveled to AT&T Park to face the Giants with a four-game winning streak, but lost 9–3 in the opener. The second game was a rematch of opening day pitchers Lincecum and Oswalt, with Lincecum winning 2–1 off of a 2-run home run off the bat of Juan Uribe. The Giants won another close game, 4–3, against the Astros to seal the three-game sweep.

The Astros went to Dodger Stadium to play the Los Angeles Dodgers, losing the first game, 6–2. Bud Norris would get hit with six earned runs in the next game, as the Astros lost 7–3 to conclude the short two-game series, with the Astros getting swept for the second consecutive series. The Astros came back home to face the Colorado Rockies for another two-game series, and won the first game 7–3, with a 4-run 8th involving a Jeff Keppinger 3-run double. In the next game, the Astros only got three hits for the second time this month, with Ubaldo Jiménez starting and going seven innings, as the Rockies won 4–0 for the series split.

The Astros kicked off interleague play against the Tampa Bay Rays, winning 2–1 despite a complete game thrown by Rays starter Matt Garza. The Rays would win game two of the series 4–2, though, to tie the series at one each. In contrast to the first two games, which were low-scoring, the series finale was a high-scorer, with the Rays winning 10–6.

The Astros went to Miller Park to play the Milwaukee Brewers, losing 6–1 against former Astro Randy Wolf. The Astros got a great start from Oswalt, who pitched eight shutout innings, and won 5–0. The Astros lost the series finale 4–3 in 10 innings, with Rickie Weeks drawing a walk-off walk against Matt Lindstrom to win the game, after Lindstrom gave up the game-tying run in the bottom of the 9th.

The Astros traveled to Great American Ball Park to face the Reds, losing 15–6 against Sam LeCure, who was making his Major League debut. The Reds continued to score runs next game, scoring 12 runs as the Reds won 12–2. In the next game, Paulino did what Wandy Rodríguez and Brian Moehler, who started the first two games, failed to do: shut down the Reds batters. Paulino pitched eight shutout innings but did not get the win as the Astros did not score until a Berkman 2-RBI double in the top of the 10th, as the Astros won 2–0.

To finish May, the Astros returned to Minute Maid Park but dropped a contest, 14–4, to Washington, with Oswalt being ejected in the 3rd inning. His replacement on the mound, Gustavo Chacín, homered off Luis Atilano in the fourth inning. Chacín's blast was both his first career home run and his first career hit. Moreover, it was Chacín's final major league at bat, becoming the first player in franchise history and 45th major leaguer with this distinction. Houston concluded the month having attained a 17–34 mark on the season, while their performance for the month of May was 9–20.

June

On June 1, Berkman had five RBI, including the game-winning run to propel the Astros over the Washington Nationals, 8–7. Jeff Keppinger stroked three hits while Michael Bourn scored three runs.

On June 9, left fielder Carlos Lee belted his sixth grand slam as a member of the Astros, and 15th of his career, to pull into a three-way tie with Bob Aspromonte (1963–1966) and Jeff Bagwell (1998–2004), for the all-time franchise lead. Since joining Houston, it was Lee's second in extra innings which took over the lead from the Colorado Rockies, paralleling his walk-off grand slam on June 28, 2007. With the score tied 2–2 in the top of the tenth inning, Lee took Matt Belisle deep, driving in Tommy Manzella, Bourn, and Berkman for the 6−2 Astros lead at Coors Field. Wilton López retired the side during the bottom of the tenth, working around a Brad Hawpe single, to close out the win. Brandon Lyon (5–1) pitched the bottom of the ninth in relief to pick up the victory.

The club called up top prospects Jason Castro (catcher) and Chris Johnson (third baseman) on June 22, whom the Astros thrust into the starting lineup. The duo became fixtures and to made an impact the remainder of the season.

The Astros rebounded to win 8 of their first 10 games in June, but struggled during interleague play, going 2–10 against the American League (AL) in June to finish 14–14, their first non-losing month of the year.

July

The Astros parted ways with hitting coach Sean Berry at the All-Star break and replaced him with Jeff Bagwell, who stayed for the remainder of the season.

Within a span of 48 hours in late July, the Astros traded franchise icons Oswalt (Philadelphia Phillies) and Lance Berkman (New York Yankees) for a sum of 5 prospects, and ultimately the Astros went 13–11 in July. The Astros would go 34–27 after trading away Oswalt and Berkman.

August

After winning their final four games of July, Houston claimed victories in their first three of August for a season-high 7-game winning streak, capped by a season-high in runs scored 18–4 win over St. Louis on August 3. Infielder Ángel Sánchez led the scoring with career highs of both four hits and six RBI.

The Astros would have their best month of the year in August by going 17–12, including a four-game sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies, the first time the Phillies were swept in Citizens Bank Park.

September

The Astros would experience their third consecutive winning month in September, going 14–13, however the poor months of April and May kept them out of contention down the stretch. They finished the season in Chicago to face the Cubs, losing 2 of 3, but still finishing 4th ahead of the Cubs.

Performance overview

Over the final four months of the season, Houston rallied for a 59–52 showing, the second-best mark in the division over that span.

Counting the entire campaign, the Astros concluded the 2010 campaign with a 76–86 record for fourth place in the NL Central, trailing the division-champion Cincinnati Reds by 15 games. Though the Astros improved by 2 wins from the year prior, they posted back-to-back losing seasons for the first time since 1990–1991. Moreover, this was the second of six consecutive losing seasons, a streak the club had not produced since the inception of the expansion era in 1962 until 1968, during which they also lost 90 or more games every year.

The club continued their success on home field, posting the eighteen winning season of 19. In 2010, they went 42–39 at Minute Maid Park.

Center fielder Michael Bourn was recognized with a second straight Gold Glove Award for outfielders, the seventh among Astros outfielders, along with César Cedeño's five (1972–1976). Bourn was also Houston's first winner over consecutive seasons since catcher Brad Ausmus in 2001–2002. On the basepaths, Bourn ran away with the NL stolen base crown with 52, to become the first Astro to win twice, and was the only Astro to lead the league apart from Craig Biggio in 1994.

Outfielder Hunter Pence swatted 25 home runs for the third consecutive campaign and was recognized with the club's Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award.

Newcomer Brett Myers tossed at least six innings pitched in each of his first 32 games started, which set a club record. He totaled a career-high innings and was the choice for Houston Astros Pitcher of the Year.

Over his final eighteen starts, left-hander Wandy Rodríguez went 8-2 and an NL-leading 2.03 ERA.

Relievers Matt Lindstrom (23 saves) and Brandon Lyon (20 saves) became the fifth teammate duo in major League history to aggregate at least 20 saves during the same season.

Third baseman Chris Johnson was named the club's Rookie of Year after leading National League rookies in batting at .308 (105 hits in 341 at bats), which also led the club, regardless of total plate appearances accrued.
