The Astros on the road this season are the same story repeated again and again. Stop me if you've heard this one before: the Astros couldn't come through with men on base, and couldn't pull out a close game on the road. This time it was a walk-off loss to a Rangers club who have knocked the Astros out of first place.
The game started poorly for the Astros. They couldn't capitalize on two hits in the top of the first, and Colin McHugh suffered through a terrible bottom of the inning. All told the Rangers scored four runs on four hits (many of them of the soft variety), a walk, a hit by pitch, two stolen bases and an error.
