Astros News
Today's game against the Baltimore Orioles marks a significant milestone for the Houston Astros, as they play their 100th game of the season, currently sitting at a disappointing 47-52. After a narrow loss yesterday, the team is desperate for a turnaround, but injuries are complicating matters, with both Jeremy Peña and Christian Walker exiting early due to hamstring and hip issues, respectively. The Astros' pitching woes are glaring, with a 6.0 runs allowed per game over the past week, and their recent 2-5 stretch only heightens the urgency for trades as the deadline approaches. As they look to bolster their outfield, the need for a left-handed-hitting outfielder is critical, making potential trades with the Rockies a hot topic. With Spencer Arrighetti taking the mound today, the team hopes to find momentum and improve their run differential before the second half truly gets underway.
