Astros' Recent Performance


The Astros have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. In their last three games, they secured one victory but faced two losses against the Milwaukee Brewers. The win was marked by a strong offensive display, scoring nine runs with eight hits, showcasing their potential when firing on all cylinders. However, inconsistency has been evident as they struggled in other matches, managing only four runs combined in two losses.


Pitching has been another area of fluctuation for Houston. Their bullpen demonstrated resilience with an impressive performance during their win over Milwaukee, allowing just one run and maintaining a low opponent batting average of .133. Yet, this form wasn't consistent across all games as they conceded more runs in subsequent matchups.
