Final Score: Pirates 6, Astros 0
Record: 50-32, first in the AL West.
Winning pitcher: Joe Musgrove (6-7) 4.27 ERA
Losing pitcher: Brad Peacock (6-6) 4.13 ERA
The Astros looked to bounce back from their 14-2 loss last night in the rubber match against The Pirates. Peacock was pulled after giving up six runs in just three innings of work. Much like yesterday, The Astros offense had to start from behind and could never catch up. With today's loss, The Astros have now lost three series in a row.
On to the next one: The Astros start a three game weekend series against their division rivals, The Seattle Mariners. Wade Miley (6-4, 3.51 ERA) makes the start for the Astros. The Mariners have not announced their starter.

Alex Bregman’s Red Sox deal contains some mind-blowing details
Feb 18, 2025, 4:37 pm
Right-handed relief pitcher Kendall Graveman has finalized a $1.35 million, one-year deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks, the team said Monday.
The 34-year-old Graveman figures to add depth to the D-backs bullpen and could compete for the closer’s role. He missed last season following surgery in January 2024 to repair the labrum in his right shoulder.
Since he switched to a full-time relief role in 2021, he has a 2.74 ERA and 193 strikeouts over 187 1/3 innings.
Graveman first pitched in the big leagues with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2014 and went on to the Oakland Athletics, Chicago White Sox, Seattle Mariners and Houston Astros.
He last pitched for the White Sox and Astros in 2023, finishing the season with a 3.12 ERA over 68 appearances. He has a 37-43 record over nine MLB seasons with a 3.95 ERA and 24 saves.
