Read full article: Houston Astros to extend netting at Minute Maid Park(CNN) - A little more than two months after a 2-year-old girl was struck by a foul ball at an Astros game, the MLB club announced Thursday it will extend the netting at Minute Maid Park in Houston. In a press release, the Astros said the protective material will go farther down the left-field and right-field lines to cover more seats. "Fan experience is always a top priority for the Astros," the team said in a statement. Calls for increased fan safety at ballparks began in May when a foul ball hit the girl during a game between the Chicago Cubs and Astros at Minute Maid Park.
