Astros starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel (17-8) was bombarded Wednesday, giving up nine runs on 11 hits in 4 2/3 innings against the Rangers. He struck out five without walking anyone, but allowed three homers.
The Astros have coughed up first place to Texas, and they turned to Keuchel to stop the bleeding in this game, but instead they got blown out in what was by far the lefty's worst start of the season. This has to be a tough blow for Keuchel's Fantasy owners after he got them this far with what's been a magnificent season.
