In their most recent outing against the Los Angeles Angels, the Astros showcased their resilience and strategic prowess. With a commanding 7-1 victory, they demonstrated not just their ability to hit but also a tight defense that allowed no errors throughout the game. Their pitching was particularly impressive, boasting an ERA of 1.0 and limiting their opponents to a .133 batting average.


However, this victory followed a challenging game against the St. Louis Cardinals where they fell short with a score of 2-4. Despite this setback, it's important to note that the Astros' bullpen showed strength in previous games by maintaining an ERA of 0 across multiple innings pitched.
