Astros Shut Out By Opponent
Getting shut out by the Reds Thursday is particularly frustrating. Obviously you can’t win a game if the offense can’t score a run. And, given that the Astros lost 1-0, it would not require much more than 1 run to win the game.
The Astros have been shut out seven times this season. This was the second time that the Astros have been shut out in the last nine days. (On Aug. 27, the Phillies shut out the Astros 5-0.) The Astros also experienced another 1-0 loss on August 4 (Tampa Bay Rays).
