Astros' Recent Performance


The Astros have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent games. With two wins and one loss in their last three outings, they have demonstrated resilience and adaptability on the field. The team's offense has been particularly noteworthy, with an impressive batting average of .313 in one game, showcasing their ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities. However, defensive lapses have occasionally cost them, as seen with errors impacting crucial moments.


On the pitching front, the Astros' bullpen has been solid but not without its challenges. Their pitchers have maintained a respectable strikeout rate while keeping walks to a minimum. Yet, there is room for improvement as they aim to tighten up their defense against powerful hitters like those from the South Siders.
