I am informed by a client that the Astros behavior could, in many ways, be worse; the Royals gave up 6 runs in the 7th. Quoth Mr Client: “What I’d give for a bullpen with an ERA lower than 10!”.

The ‘Stros have a chance to extend their streak to 8 tonight in St. Louis, but they’ll have to get to 0-10 to exceed the record set by the 1983 team, who went a staggering 0-9.
