Astros' Joe Musgrove: Struggles for second straight start

Musgrove (1-2) allowed five runs on eight hits over just four innings in Tuesday's loss at Pittsburgh while striking out two without a walk.

Analysis:

The rookie looked impressive in his first three major league appearances, but has come crashing down to earth with 13 runs allowed in just 9.1 innings over his last two outings. Musgrove will have a good chance to rebound in his next start as he faces the Athletics at home Monday. While he has been good at Minute Maid Park, it'll be tough to trust him after mixed results through 27.2 innings with the Astros.
