"Bro throws a baseball like it was a football"
The Astros have had a disappointing start to the season, which has even worsened as they lost 6-1 and 6-2 against the Braves on consecutive days.
Both the teams are yet to face one more time to conclude the series and Joe Espada and Co. would hope to try and win the final one to avoid a clean sweep.
Astros' pitching prospect Spencer Arrighetti optimistic of great season after performance against Braves
Houston Astros pitching prospect Spencer Arrighetti had a decent game against the Braves on Monday. He gave out two runs along with four hits and secured five strikeouts in his four-inning run.
Following the team's heartbreaking 6-1 defeat against the Braves, Arrighetti talked about his performance. Even though they lost, he seemed quite content with the work that he did and was optimistic of having a great season ahead with many more such spells. He said:
"There’s a lot to look back and be proud of. I feel like I made some good adjustments in between starts this time around. I made some big pitches tonight in some big situations that I’m really happy about.”
This was Arrighetti's second MLB start with Astros. He made his big-league debut on April 10 against the Kansas City Royals. In his debut game, he had an ERA of 21.00 in three innings that he pitched. He conceded seven hits and as many runs.
The Astros are currently struggling with bad runs and such individual performances would only help them get back on the winning track as soon as possible.
