Crochet (1-1) took the loss Wednesday against the Astros, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits across five innings. He struck out seven.
The left-hander shut out the Reds over six frames in his season debut, but it was a different story for Crochet on Wednesday. After giving up two runs in the first inning, the 26-year-old surrendered a two-run homer to Carlos Correa in the fifth in an eventual 6-4 defeat. Crochet will look to get back on track in his next outing, tentatively lined up for next week at home against the Brewers.
