Jhoulys Chacin pitched two-plus innings last night and the Astros made him pay for it. Colby Rasmus went 3-for-5 and Carlos Gomez went 3-for-4, each had an RBI single giving the Astros a 3-0 after the first. The Astros doubled that lead, 6-0, after three innings on RBI hits from Luis Valbuena and Evan Gattis.
The Angels got down early again, it’s been the tale of the season. Chacin was brutal last night. His ERA swelled to 5.50 last night on 72 pitches through two-plus innings.
