After a brutal 6-0 loss against the Toronto Blue Jays (84-62) on Thursday night, the Houston Astros (79-68) lost their lead in the American League West standing
Ronald Acuña Jr. hit his 16th home run in the sixth inning, and Eli White hit a pinch-hit two-run homer for the Braves in the eighth. The defeat gave the Braves their 82nd loss, officially confirming a losing season for the first time since 2017.
It was the second time Lopez had thrown off the mound since undergoing arthroscopic right shoulder surgery in April.
The Houston Astros still need a starting pitcher for Friday’s game, but the weekend they’ll turn to their two aces.
