The Stros lost their third straight game to the Cubs on Wednesday night, 4-1.
The Stros wasted a good pitching performance be Tim Redding, who gave up two runs on eight hits over seven innings. But the Stros continue to scruff at the plate, scattering a bunch of singles off of Greg Maddux around one extra base hit (a game opening double by Bidg). Nothing is looking good for the Stros right now, as Everett has a hitch in his giddyup, Hidalgo is on the trading block and not playing much, and Berkman has cooled off after being the only consistently good hitter over the past month.
Roy O tries to avoid the sweep tomorrow night. The Stros are in free fall, and it’s getting ugly at the Juice Box, folks.
