A team spokesperson said the Astros notified both the Houston Police Department and Major League Baseball security about the threats made at Lance McCullers Jr. and his family.

Astros manager Joe Espada was upset with what McCullers saw on social media: "It really drives me nuts. It’s very sad. Very, very sad.”

A heated Joe Espada began his postgame news conference by revealing that threats against Lance McCullers Jr’s family and life were made after today’s start. The Astros say they’ve notified HPD and MLB security about the threats.
