The Houston Astros paid their respects to George Floyd in a touching way Monday night … lighting up their stadium’s scoreboard with his picture and the words, “Rest In Power.”

The scene was striking … the ‘Stros opened up their stadium so the photo was visible for miles — and at the bottom of the pic, they typed out “Black Lives Matter.”

The team also laid down flowers, a photograph and a candle for Floyd on the Minute Maid Park grass as well. The Houston Texans also honored the 46-year-old the night before he was set to be laid to rest in his Texas hometown … lighting up their stadium in his former high school’s color scheme.

As we previously reported, Floyd tragically died late last month after a Minnesota cop knelt on his back and neck for over eight minutes during an arrest attempt.

The aftermath of his death sparked national outrage … with protestors calling for real change in America.

A memorial service was held for Floyd on Monday in Houston … where family members and victims of other police brutality incidents gave emotional and powerful speeches.
