The loss puts Houston 2.5 games behind Texas with one week remaining in the season.
“It’s tough to take,” manager Dusty Baker said. “What can I say?”“The sweep is just kind of a benefit to the fact that these guys have been playing really well pitching in really tough situations against a really good lineup,” manager Matt Quatraro said.
Chas McCormick doubled with one out in the eighth inning, but Carlos Hernandez retired the next two batters to leave him stranded. Bobby Witt Jr. walked to open the third inning before Perez homered on a soaring shot that bounced off the wall in left field to make it 5-2. Five pitches later, Velazquez connected on his second home run of the game to push the lead to 6-2.
