The hits keep coming to the Houston Astros.
On Wednesday, the team capped a miserable trip to the Colorado Rockies by being swept in a 9-1 loss, Houston’s first in a three-game series or longer at Coors Field since 2012, per Stathead. But that wasn’t the worst of it.
The Astros also lost two starters due to injury, one day after announcing ace Hunter Brown won’t throw for a “few weeks” as he recovers from a shoulder injury.
Injuries are already piling up for the Astros
Pitcher Cristian Javier, who started Wednesday’s loss, only pitched one inning before exiting with a shoulder injury. He took the mound for the bottom of the second but was pulled after making a warm-up pitch, ending his outing, allowing one earned run and three hits, which actually lowered his ERA to 12.54 through two starts.
