Astros News
The Houston Astros are staring down a rough May as they sit at 17-28, fresh off a frustrating 3-8 loss to the Seattle Mariners. Starting pitcher Spencer Arrighetti, boasting a stellar 1.88 ERA and coming off five straight quality starts, is a bright spot, yet the team's overall performance is disheartening. With only two wins in their last seven games, the front office is under pressure, especially with rumors swirling around owner Jim Crane's willingness to make impactful changes. Meanwhile, Nate Pearson's rehab stint offers little more than false hope for a beleaguered bullpen, while Tatsuya Imai's contract looms as a potential barrier to improvement. As the Astros prepare to face the Texas Rangers, their rivalry provides a glimmer of excitement amidst the chaos.
