It is no secret that the Astros bats have cooled off this series versus the Padres. This was obvious with Carlos Correa hitting into three double plays last night. George Springer came within inches of a walk-off double in the tenth inning that went just foul.
The Padres limited the Astros to three runs so far in the series. The Astros only needed one run tonight, but they failed to capitalize on Bryan Mitchell’s wildness. He had six walks in the game while striking out only one. The Astros put the ball in play, just hit into tough outs.
