You hate to win this way. But it’s better than losing.
The Astros continued their hitting slump from last night but their opponent, the Texas Rangers, managed to hand the Stros the game anyway.
Oh, the futility.
The Astros did not score after the second inning last night and did not score runs tonight until the eighth inning, and only then with the generous help of the Rangers’ defense
Down 3-0 thanks to a Marcus Semien RBI single in the third inning and a Nathaniel Lowe two-run homer in the fourth, the Astros finally looked like they might put something together in the eighth inning off reliever John King.
