Your '77 Astros lost again to the '77 Phillies over at Play That Funky Baseball.
Houston 5
Philadelphia 7
Another valiant try by Houston, who seems to be in every game, but Lonborg outpitches Niekro and survives two late Joe Ferguson bombs for the CG.
Run Differential:
104 RS/101 RA, 3rd in the NL
Record: 9-11
GB: 4
This weekend we take on the '77 Reds, who are 9-9.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
