Houston Astros News & Updates
The Houston Astros were 12-20, 5th in the AL West. Yesterday, the Houston Astros were dismantled by the Baltimore Orioles 3-10 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
Tough week to look at. A 7-run loss last night is the biggest weight on the score. Compounding things, giving up 7.0 runs a game. That's the biggest issue.

Astros News
The Houston Astros are in dire need of a spark as they face the Baltimore Orioles in a doubleheader today, sitting at a disappointing 11-20. After a lackluster 0-0 finish in yesterday's rainout, the team hopes for a breakout from Brice Matthews, who has struggled but could turn the tide with a strong performance. Lance McCullers Jr. takes the mound in Game Two, looking to improve on his rough 6.75 ERA, while the team grapples with Tatsuya Imai's uncertain return from injury after a shaky rehab outing. With only two wins in the last seven games and a run differential that screams trouble, the Astros must find their footing or risk slipping further behind in a competitive division.
