Astros Struggle Offense, Hold Lead | Houston Astros News

The Astros’ offense is in freefall, scoring three or fewer runs in eight of their last thirteen games and averaging just 3.9 runs over their last thirty — the fifth-lowest in MLB. Despite solid pitching from Peter Lambert and a clutch three-hit performance from Jose Altuve, the lineup couldn’t deliver in the clutch, falling 3-2 to the Diamondbacks in a series finale that capped a brutal 4-3 homestand. With the bullpen holding strong and the ninth inning ending with a strikeout of the side, the Astros now hold a two-game AL West lead — but with their bats sputtering, they’re heading into a brutal road trip against elite competition. Time to find a spark — or risk losing their grip on first place. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
