Athletics @ Astros"},"content":{"rendered":"<p id=\"hkI8q3\">The injury situation for the Astros appears to be finally taking its toll, as they have lost two straight to the lowly Athletics. However, Nick Kurtz\u2019s (The Big Amish) four-homer game last night seems anything but lowly, and a bad harbinger for the future of the AL West. But maybe the Astros\u2019 AAA pitching had a little to do with it?<\/p>\n<p id=\"90ET5S\">Still, the Astros maintain a five-game lead in the West thanks to the Mariners losing to the Angels in extra innings last night, and tonight a real major league pitcher goes to the mound for the Stros.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yLD7yP\">But is he himself? In his last three starts, he has surrendered nearly a run per inning pitched. Tonight, Hunter Brown goes to get his team back on track, but also his own season. A fourth consecutive bad start by Brown would be as bad a news item as any number of the recent injury reports. <\/p>\n<p id=\"Jv1v88\">Here are the standings in the AL West:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"   alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" data-upload-width=\"1340\" width=\"1340\" height=\"283\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot___2025_07_26T163916.979.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"iGNQeD\">Here are tonight\u2019s lineups:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"   alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" data-upload-width=\"950\" width=\"950\" height=\"867\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot___2025_07_26T163512.390.png\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The injury situation for the Astros appears to be finally taking its toll, as they have lost two&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":205647,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2391],"tags":[42,537,5,3232,3231,3390,181,14,4278,3391,2143,4,3226,173,2412],"class_list":{"0":"post-205646","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-athletics","8":"tag-astros","9":"tag-athletics","10":"tag-baseball","11":"tag-boxes","12":"tag-crawfish","13":"tag-ct","14":"tag-front-page","15":"tag-game","16":"tag-game-preview","17":"tag-game-threads","18":"tag-july","19":"tag-mlb","20":"tag-mlb-athletics","21":"tag-the","22":"tag-thread"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/114923314161304424","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205646","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=205646"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205646\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/205647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=205646"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=205646"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=205646"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
