Astros Struggle in Shutout Loss

The Astros’ offense went silent in a 4-0 shutout loss to the Royals, snapping their two-out-of-three series win streak and marking their sixth shutout of the season. Starter Spencer Arrighetti held his own despite four runs, while Royals’ Stephen Kolek dazzled with 11 straight strikeouts and a scoreless outing into the eighth. The Astros stranded runners and went hitless with men on base, while rookies and rested stars like Altuve and Paredes watched from the bench — Raynel Delgado made his debut with a clutch hit. Now 33-40, Houston heads home hoping their bats wake up before the season slips away. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
