Joe Ross Struggles in Game 5 Loss
5 years agoRoss was overmatched by a hot Astros lineup, and they took advantage early. Yordan Alvarez rocketed a ball over the centerfield wall and drove in Yuli Gurriel in the second inning. He lasted until the fourth inning until Carlos Correa blasted another two-run homer. Ross struck out just one batter over five innings and walked two. We likely won't see Ross again, unless he comes into game seven for a relief inning. The Nationals need to wake up if they want any chance of winning this series on the road.
