Tuesday's game against the Tigers had the feel of a postseason preview, and for the Houston Astros, a reminder that with Josh Hader sidelined, their bullpen has some serious flaws. The Astros fell to the Tigers 1-0 in a game that saw right-handed pitcher Kaleb Ort take the loss. Ort pitching in an inning of consequence certainly wasn't how the Astros drew up their bullpen structure at the start of the season.
It was a disastrous outing for Ort, who walked three batters en route to the Tigers walking off the Astros on Tuesday.
