Astros News
The Houston Astros' struggles continue as they fell to the Seattle Mariners 8-7, marking a disheartening 1-6 record over the last week. The team is already facing challenges, losing starter Cody Bolton to mid-back tightness after just two innings, further stretching a roster already feeling the effects of injuries. With a run differential of -9 and an alarming 7.4 runs allowed per game, the pitching staff is in desperate need of a turnaround. Meanwhile, the passing of Phil Garner, who led the Astros to their first World Series appearance, serves as a sobering reminder of the franchise's history amidst this tough stretch. Tonight’s matchup against the Mariners is a chance to right the ship, but the urgency is palpable as the Astros look to spark a much-needed winning streak.
