Then, the first of Houston's bad luck started. Gerrit Cole's hamstring gave him discomfort during warmups for the second game of the doubleheader, and he would get scratched. Houston's bullpen, who had just used three of their arms in the first game, had to scramble for a full nine innings. While the collection of relievers allowed four runs, it was Houston's offense that disappointed in the loss, the first of a five-game skid.

Shrug it off, Astros, it was just a bad week! Or was it?

The 5 game skid isn't anything to be concerned about! Losing streaks happen. At least it's not September...yet!

Astros fans better start worrying! 5 game skid this late in August isn't good.
