Burrows Struggles Sink Astros Again

Mike Burrows’ latest outing ended in heartbreak as he surrendered two key home runs, including a three-run blast, allowing the Pirates to seize control and never look back. Despite pitching over five innings, Burrows’ struggles with left-handed hitters and home runs continue to haunt him. The Astros, who had early chances and a lead, couldn’t hold it — their bullpen crumbled in the final frames. Yordan Alvarez hit his 21st homer, tying for sixth in franchise history, but the offense sputtered overall. Meanwhile, injuries linger: Altuve nears live BP, Diaz could start rehab soon, and Loperfido progresses through his own rehab. The loss drops the Astros to 27-35, highlighting a season of missed opportunities and mounting pressure. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
