The Astros stole five bases Tuesday as they seek ways to manufacture runs in the midst of...
Houston Astros Yainer Diaz and Jeremy Peña during batting practice before the start of an MLB baseball game at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2022 in Houston.Jose Altuve watched four pitches sail outside the strike zone, sauntered to first base and signaled the sense of urgency enveloping the Astros lineup. Save one spectacular afternoon in Chicago, this club is struggling to score runs since the All-Star break.
Rangers reliever Jose Leclerc started Peña with a slider — the pitch giving him fits for so much of this season. The shortstop swung through it. Altuve was halfway to second base before he finished. Catcher Sam Huff made a performative throw down. Altuve slid by before it arrived. Alvarez finished 1-for-5 in Tuesday’s loss, his third game back after battling hand soreness. The slugger has six extra-base hits across his past 107 plate appearances. Alvarez hasn’t homered in a span of 58 at-bats. He has two during his last 99.
Astros lineups of the past may be able to absorb the anemia. This one cannot. Houston entered Tuesday’s game extracting a .215/.279/.351 slash line from the bottom-third of its batting order for a .629 OPS. Only eight lineups have a lower one from their seventh, eighth and ninth hitters.
