Offense started great, then went silent. Bullpen started awesome, then faltered. Five in a row.
What Happened
That's a good question. What happened to the Astros? What happened to this team that held off the American League West for most of the season? What happened to the team that seemed to be able to hit home runs at will? What happened to the bullpen that was so solid up until this last month? Be warned, a little frustration may bleed through into this recap tonight.
It started out so promising. Mike Fiers had a really good outing, only allowing two runs on back-to-back homers in the top of the fourth inning.
