Astros: Bats Go Cold, Astros Fall to Giants 7-2

​In tonight's matchup at Daikin Park, the Houston Astros fell to the San Francisco Giants with a final score of 7-2. The Giants took an early lead, scoring in the second inning and adding another run in the fifth. The pivotal moment came in the sixth inning when Wilmer Flores hit a three-run homer, extending the Giants' lead to 5-0. The Astros attempted a comeback in the eighth inning, with Jose Altuve and Cam Smith scoring on a double by Isaac Paredes, but ultimately couldn't close the gap. Ronel Blanco started on the mound for Houston, delivering a notable performance by striking out Willy Adames in the first inning. Despite this effort, the Astros' offense struggled, managing only three hits throughout the game. This loss brings the Astros' season record to 2-2 as they continue their series against the Giants.​Locked On Astros is a daily podcast about the Houston Astros, hosted by Eric Huysman and Brett Chancey.
