Right fielder Hunter Pence was selected to the MLB All-Star Game and played for the National League, the second selection of his career.

Houston concluded the 2011 season with a 56–106 record and in last place, 40 games behind the division-champion Milwaukee Brewers, and worst record in the major leagues. This was the first time in the franchise's 50-year history that they had lost 100 games in a single season, surpassing the record of 97 jointly held by the 1965, 1975, and 1991 teams, and was surpassed again the following season. The 40 games behind first place at the time represented the second-most in franchise history to the 1975 club (43+1⁄2).

Regular season

Summary

Jordan Lyles made his major league debut on May 31, hurling seven clean innings over the Chicago Cubs before his own error put him in line for the loss. The team proceeded to back him up, scoring six runs in the ninth to set up a 7–3 Astros victory.^[1]

On August 16, outfielder Brian Bogusevic hit the 26th ultimate grand slam in major league history, classified as a bases-loaded, walk-off grand slam with the batter's team trailing by three runs, signifying that the batter is also the winning and walk-off run. Bogusevic connected off Chicago Cubs reliever Carlos Mármol for a 6–5 Houston victory. This was the Astros' lone walk-off homer in 2011, and their first walk-off grand slam since Gregg Zaun in 2002.^[2]
