He definitely was struggling of late but I think his injury (which is why he is currently on IL) played a part in his struggle.

He struggled with control the last few starts but still had better ERA than several on the staff.

At best I think this was a push. I just think we needed an arm more than we needed a bat.

If Javier (who got the start tonight) can do well the remaining of the season, then this can be a good trade.

I liked Arrighetti, but he had some very early exits. We do need pitching more than OFs.

Play just now…..Straw is super fast, but not that fast. Lol

Lose 3-1.

Arlington about to lose so lead stays 2.5 to them and Seattle who are off tonight.

Astros had 10 hits tonight but can only score 1 run.

Javier actually had a quality start going 6 innings, giving up 3 runs on 7 hits. 2 K's, BB.

Astro pitching did it's job tonight.

Imai may end up being extremely valuable if he can replicate tonight's performance a few more times before the season ends. We shall see.

I agree. If Javier can give quality starts and Imai solid innings out of the pen, then I feel much better about our pitching staff.

I bet we had a high LOB count tonight.

Houston had 13 LOB as oppose to Toronto's 3.

Pretty much sums up this loss.

7-2 win for Houston.

Another quality start for an Astro pitcher. Wesneski went 6 IP, giving up 2 runs on 4 hits, 4 K's, 2 BB.

Sousa and De Los Santos with 3 shutout innings.

Houston has now won 12 of last 14.

Great time at the Astros game tonight for dollar dog night. 4 hot dogs and 7 beers down. I bought the tickets buddy (the DD) gets to drive. Great trade off,

Lose 5-4 on bad call and challange.  Alvarez was safe.

I don't think he go his foot on the bag until after the tag.  Even the great ones make mistakes and him not sliding was simply very bad baseball. Tough loss to take today. Real tough loss!

That and the fact that Houston didn't score a run when the game was tied 3-3 in bottom of 7th and Astros had runners at 2nd and 3rd with no outs.

Another good pitching game gone to waste.

I'd argue that lol but that's not why we lost.
