Astros ace Dallas Keuchel allowed no earned runs Friday against the host Angels. If he had allowed no runs at all, he'd be celebrating his 18th victory.
Instead, he gave up three unearned runs and is lamenting his seventh defeat.
Keuchel surrendered five hits, walked two and whiffed seven.
He has only himself to blame. His error on what would have been the third out in the third inning was followed by a wild pitch and two-run single. He retired the last nine batters he faced, but his offense could not bale him out.
The defeat ended a personal four-game winning streak for Keuchel, who had not lost since Aug. 7.
