Game Recap: Astros’ Offense Sputters Again at Home. D-Backs 4-2

The past is prologue*.

This game finished for the Astros as it began, as too many games have played out all year, with rally crushing double plays. The Astros are league leaders in this dubious category.

After the Diamondbacks had touched Dallas Keuchel for two runs in the top of the first, the Astros came back strong on D-backs starter Robbie Ray, getting four straight base runners and a run before getting even one out.

With the bases loaded, Carlos Correa hit a hard grounder to short, resulting in a run but two outs. Although it tied the score, it also crushed the rally, and would create the last run scored by the Astros in the game.
