The hits keep coming to the Houston Astros<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the team capped a miserable trip to the Colorado Rockies<\/a> 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<\/a>. But that wasn’t the worst of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Injuries are already piling up for the Astros<\/h2>\n

Pitcher Cristian Javier<\/a>, 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. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
