Four Runs In Four Days

The Houston Astros have only scored four runs in four days. That will not cut it, would not cut it even if the pitching staff was terrific. And the pitching staff is not terrific! The road trip that started out with a win at St. Louis has turned dismal. The 'Stros had climbed to within a game of the Cubs, but now find themselves six and a half back.

The club moves on to Pittsburgh after the sweep in Milwaukee. Doing some good work there is pretty important if the Astros are to contend throughout the summer.
