The Astros fall to the Pirates
The Houston Astros dropped a three-game series to their former NL Central rival, the Pittsburgh Pirates. Full Seam Ahead hosts Lorenzo Delgado and Angel Cantu recap the Pirates series. Both ball clubs made a total of 13 errors this series. The Pirates made eight errors, while Houston made five. The Dominican southpaw Framber Valdez gave up four runs in the second inning of Game 3. However, he would later bounced back. The Astros’ offense continue to pass the baton to one another in the lineup and covered some ground to take the series finale from the Pirates.
The Astros made two acquisitions at this year’s trade deadline, acquiring starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi and left-handed reliever Caleb Ferguson. Did the Astros overpay at the deadline? Was this a successful deadline for Astros GM Dana Brown? Zo and Angel debate over the organizations moves.
