The 2000 Houston Astros season was a season in American baseball. They finished in fourth place in the National League Central division.
On August 14 in Philadelphia, first baseman Jeff Bagwell homered twice and tied a club record with seven runs batted in (RBI) in a 14–7 win, shared by Rafael Ramírez and Pete Incaviglia.
Bagwell again homered twice on August 19 against the Milwaukee Brewers for the 299th and 300th of his career; the second home run broke an eighth-inning tie to give Houston a 10–8 win. He joined Hank Aaron, Joe DiMaggio, Frank Robinson and Ted Williams as the fifth player in major league history to record 300 home runs, 1,000 RBI and 1,000 runs scored in his first ten seasons.
Bagwell scored 152 runs to lead the major leagues. It was the highest total in a season since Lou Gehrig in 1936, and his 295 runs scored from 1999–2000 set a National League two-season record.
Despite finishing 18 games below .500, the Astros set the all-time NL record for most home runs hit by one team in the regular season, with 249.
