The Astros came into Sacramento on a five-game winning streak, mostly on the strength of great starting pitching, much of it from AAA call-ups. After winning its last two games in walk-off fashion, tonight the Astros got the walk-off treatment themselves, wasting a great performance from another fill-in starter, Ryan Gusto.

Houston placed a starting pitcher on the IL for the fourth time this reason, announcing that the 31-year-old lefty has a right foot sprain.
