On Friday night, it looked like the Astros players that the team will rely on to replace out-for-COVID-protocol victims Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, Yordan Alvarez, and Martin Maldonado would be instrumental in breaking the 5-game losing that the team had taken to Seattle.
Aledmys Diaz had two RBI, rookie Alex De Goti had an RBI on his first big-league hit, rookie Chas McCormick added an RBI, and rookie Tayor Jones had two runs scored.
Despite this production from unexpected quarters, the Astros failed to hold a late lead and lost their sixth straight to the Mariners, 6-5.
