The Astros' offensive struggles with Jose Altuve and Michael Brantley out could linger.
Smoke clears as the national anthem is played before the Houston Astros season opening Major League Baseball game against the Chicago White Sox on Thursday, March 30, 2023, in Houston.The only two mistakes of Dylan Cease’s magnificent night arrived with one out in the seventh inning. A slider slipped from his right hand and struck a slugger in the foot. A curveball didn’t break low enough against a former teammate. José Abreu shot it through the six-hole for a single.
Up strolled a free-swinging rookie who awoke on Thursday with nine major league plate appearances. Behind him in the on-deck circle stood someone playing in his 102nd game with a 32.2 percent strikeout rate as a major league hitter. The dropoff is steep, the results somewhat predictable. Yainer Diaz saw four pitches, swung through two of them and struck out.
