The Astros are in big trouble. They lost Game 1 Tuesday night when the Nationals touched up the best pitcher in baseball for five runs, and came into Game 2 needing to scratch out some offense against a rolling Stephen Strasburg in order to salvage a split at home. They got off to a good start on that front Wednesday night, but watched their own pitching implode and lost a laugher, 12â3, to head to Washington in a deadly hole.
