Just when we thought we were beginning to understand the topsy-turvy 2024 Astros, this game confounded our expectations yet again.
A team that sits near the top of baseball in starter ERA had a starter ERA of 135.00 tonight. That same team’s bullpen, one of the worst bullpens in baseball so far, went 8.2 innings without giving up a run.
But the main expectation they shattered was that after losing the first two in Arlington to the World Champion Rangers, they actually came back strong to tie the series. Tonight, they came from behind to win 10-5.
