Astros Lose to Mariners, Slump Continues

The Houston Astros suffered a 8-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners, dropping their record to 17-28, second-worst in the majors. Their offense has been struggling, scoring three or fewer runs in 14 of their last 20 games. Manager Joe Espada emphasizes the need for consistency. Pitcher Mike Burrows took the loss, giving up 7 runs, including 2 homers. The Astros host the Texas Rangers this weekend, hoping to turn things around despite injuries and upcoming returns from relievers Nate Pearson and Josh Hader.
