Bats buckle under early deficit; result in Astros 5th straight loss

Astros drop 5th straight today. Struggle to do what it takes to wins games: Score runs.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fl. - Late Texas football coach, Darryl K. Royal once said, "You never lose a game if the opponent doesn't score." And wow are the Astros opponents going by that of late. The Astros were held under 2 runs for their 5th straight game today, they were also dealt, with no surprise, their 5th straight loss today. The Astros sent out ace Dallas Keuchel to the mound today to end their, what was, a 4 game skid. It didn't happen.
