The Houston Astros were going for the three game sweep against the Washington Nationals but they came up short on Thursday night. The Nationals avoided the sweep as they beat the Astros 8-3.
Brandon Backe took the loss to drop to 2-4 on the season. Backe pitched six innings and gave up six hits and four runs in the game. Oscar Villarreal gave up three runs while Wesley Wright gave up another run.
Carlos Lee, Hunter Pence, and Ty Wigginton all had one rbi each for the Astros. The Astros weren’t ablt to string together three or four hits in a row to have a big inning and that is why they lost the game in my opinion. They just couldn’t come up with that big hit when they needed it as they left 21 runners on base.
