    Garrett Crochet allowed three runs with eight strikeouts across six innings in a loss to the Astros on Wednesday.

    Advice: Crochet came into this one on a roll, not allowing more than two runs over each of his last nine starts.

After a scoreless fifth, Crochet allowed one more run in on a double and a base hit in the sixth. He still generated 19 whiffs to strike out eight batters.
