Astros Struggle as Padres Blast Way | Houston Astros News

The Astros’ offense went silent again, coughing up a 7-2 loss to the Padres in a series finale that exposed their recent hitting woes. With just two hits all game, Houston’s bats — including Altuve, Alvarez, and Paredes — failed to deliver, while the Padres exploded for five homers led by Tatis Jr.’s go-ahead three-run blast. Varsho’s two-run homer was the only bright spot for the Astros, who now face a two-series skid after a hot streak. Javier labored into the sixth, surrendering four runs, and the bullpen couldn’t hold the lead. Despite the loss, the Astros still hold a slim AL West lead as they prepare for a crucial series against the Giants.
