Recent Performance Trends


The Astros have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. Despite their efforts, they've encountered challenges that have tested their resilience. In their last game against the Mariners, they put up a valiant fight but fell short with a scoreline reflecting their tenacity in hitting but struggles on the mound. Their batting average stood out at .270 with an impressive ten hits signaling potential threats from their lineup. However, pitching proved costly as they posted an ERA of 7.269 over nearly nine innings.


In another close encounter that extended into twelve innings against the Mariners once more, the Astros managed to edge out with two runs from eight hits. This performance highlighted both endurance and tactical execution under pressure—a testament to their fighting spirit.
