For the second day in a row, the Astros wasted a decent pitching performance by one of their replacement pitchers, getting shut out in their second straight game after their eight-game winning streak.
Brandon Bielak went 6.1 innings, allowing only two runs on a first-inning Willy Adames home run. In the seventh inning, he gave up solo homers to Owen Miller and Brian Anderson before surrendering the mound to Bryan Abreu.
Meanwhile, Astros product Adrian Houser shut out the Astros for 5.1 innings. He was a ground ball machine, getting nine groundouts with only three strikeouts, allowing only two hits.
