Former Astro turned Space City Home Network analyst, Geoff Blum joins The A-Team for his weekly visit. He talks about the Astros coming back to Minute Maid Park and trying to get things going back in the right direction. He talks about what we saw from Alex Bregman towards the end of the Mariners series. Plus, what we are seeing from Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez at the plate right now.

Geoff Blum on The A-Team: Altuve Doing Well Puts Everyone At Ease

Adam Wexler and Adam Clanton of The A-Team recap the Houston Astros losing 4-2 to the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday, making it two straight road losses. The Astros are now 5.5 games back from the lead in the AL West. Hunter Brown started on the mound, allowing only one run on four hits and no walks while striking out nine in six innings. Even though Brown had one of his best performances of the season, things would unravel for the Astros as Ryan Pressly blew his fourth save of the season in the eighth inning. Chandler Rome of The Athletic joins to discuss first baseman Jose Abreu's place in the lineup as the Astros attempt to split the series against the Mariners. Clanton and Wexler talk about the Rockets holding the No. 3 pick in the NBA Draft, comment on Bronny James staying in the NBA draft, react to the charges being dropped against golfer Scottie Scheffler, steal a bit in "Wednesday BS" and more.

Hunter Brown Quality Start, Ryan Pressly Blows Save, Astros Lose Back-To-Back At Mariners

Chandler Rome of The Athletic joins The A-Team following the Houston Astros losing 4-2 to the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday, making it two straight road losses. Hunter Brown started on the mound, allowing only one run on four hits and no walks while striking out nine in six innings. "Adding that sinker has really helped a lot," Rome said. Even though Brown had one of his best performances of the season, things would unravel for the Astros as Ryan Pressly blew his fourth save of the season in the eighth inning. As to why Brown did not continue after six innings, Rome said "you want [Brown] to leave outings encouraged." First baseman Jose Abreu returned to the lineup in Monday's 3-2 loss, recording an RBI single, but struck out twice in Tuesday's 4-2 loss. "There's not much [Joe Espada or Dana Brown] can say this point," because "they're going to keep playing him." With Abreu brought back up, the corresponding move saw Joey Loperfido sent down to Triple-A. "This is not a permanent demotion," but the Astros "don't view him as a first baseman...they think his true value is in the outfield." The Astros are now 5.5 games back from the lead in the AL West, and Rome says the Astros have "very little margin for error" against their division rival. "The Mariners can't hit, but they can pitch," and "the established guys have to hit" for the Astros.
