Musgrove (1-3) surrendered five runs (four earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out five in Thursday's 10-4 loss to the Rangers.
The Rangers avoided a series sweep by taking advantage of enough of Musgrove's mistakes. The right-hander's command, particularly with two strikes on batters, was spotty. He gave up four hits and three runs on two-strike counts. His next turn through the rotation is due next Wednesday but don't be surprised if the Astros push him back to Thursday in order to get Dallas Keuchel on the mound with normal rest.
