The Astros will extend the protective netting at Minute Maid Park prior to the team’s Aug. 19 homestand. The ballpark’s current netting will be replaced with knotless netting that will be extended further down the left-field and right-field lines, increasing the number of seats that will be located behind protective netting. In a season that has seen a number of fans get injured by foul balls, Minute Maid Park was the site of one of the more notable incidents. In late July, a 2-year-old girl in attendance at a Cubs-Astros game was struck by a foul ball and suffered a fractured skull and seizure.
