Houston scored three or fewer runs for the 21st time in the past 35 games, failing to come up with timely hits in another low-scoring game against Tampa Bay.
The Houston Astros suffered another loss to the Tampa Bay Rays as their offensive production lagged. Yordan Alvarez's absence emphasized the team's need for consistent offensive players. The Astros, who ranked fifth in the league for runs since the Aug. 3 trade deadline, struggled to score, compiling three or fewer runs for the 21st time in their last 35 games.
