  • Houston Astros pitcher José De León gave up a lead in the eighth inning, costing him a chance at his fourth win of the season.
  • De León pitched five innings, allowing three runs on three hits, including two home runs, while striking out seven batters.
  • The bullpen allowed the Brewers to tie the game in the eighth, resulting in a no-decision for De León.

Houston Astros pitcher José De León's bid for a fourth win of the season was thwarted when the bullpen faltered in the eighth inning against the Milwaukee Brewers.

De León delivered a solid performance, pitching five innings and allowing three earned runs on three hits. His outing included giving up two home runs but also featured a season-high seven strikeouts. He left the game with a chance for the win, having pitched well enough to keep his team ahead.

However, the Astros' relief pitchers could not maintain the lead. After a strong performance from the bullpen through the first two innings of relief, the Brewers managed to tie the game in the eighth inning. This late-game collapse erased De León's potential victory and resulted in a no-decision for the Taiwanese pitcher.

The game ultimately ended with the Astros unable to secure the win, leaving De León to reflect on what could have been a successful outing had the bullpen held on.
