This game graph really explains it all. One image saves me from writing 1,000 words about this loss.
I’ll keep this recap relatively short tonight. Ryan Gusto obviously didn’t have it, allowing eight runs in only 3 1⁄3 innings. Every Astros pitcher allowed at least one earned run. We saw Cooper Hummel, a position player, throw an inning, allowing four earned runs. I missed it when that was more of a fun novelty, to be honest.
The lineup didn’t have much of a chance, though, facing a 9-0 deficit by the time Jose Altuve had his second plate appearance.
