After a 2-4 homestand largely devoid of offense, Alex Bregman says Houston's hitters need to talk — and ideally figure things out — as a nine-game trip begins.
Although he homered in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Giants, third baseman Alex Bregman was a mere 3-for-22 during the Astros' six-game homestand. Umpire Will Little's called third strike during Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Phillies left Bregman particularly displeased.The ball Alex Bregman knocked into the Crawford Boxes in the eighth inning Wednesday carried a lot of weight — lifted right off Bregman’s shoulders.Finally.
“We’ll all get together … before the game on Friday and kind of go through things and see where we can improve,” Bregman said. “I know how good of an offense we have here and look forward to showing it down the road.” The Astros’ offensive numbers of late are numbing. They’ve scored one or no runs in four of their last seven games, including being shut out for the first time this season Tuesday night .
The Astros' pitching staff has for the most part done its job en route to the team’s 16-15 record 31 games in. Wednesday starter Framber Valdez gave up two earned runs over six innings while allowing five hits and striking out eight Giants. That should be enough for a win, but Valdez’s record dropped to 2-4 .
