Welp...Astros lose to Mariners 10-1

So, that game happened. Not a lot of good, unless you’re a fan of lively Twitter debates about whether Martín Maldonado or Yainer Díaz should catch Hunter Brown. I mean, I don’t think it mattered who caught Brown when he was this inefficient against the Mariners on Friday.

With Brown approaching 100 innings before the All-Star break, the question has to be raised about his workload for the remainder of the season. The right-hander threw a career-high 126 ¹⁄₃ innings between Sugar Land and Houston, not counting the postseason.
