## Resource

Down Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa and Yainer Diaz, the Astros have one of baseball's worst offenses in May and are watching their season start to slip away. Former Astros outfielder Josh Reddick joins Tyler Stafford and The Athletic's Chandler Rome to discuss the Astros' dispiriting series loss to the Twins, the disastrous state of their lineup and what — if anything — can be done to fix it. The trio also discusses Tatsuya Imai's step forward and Lance McCullers Jr.'s latest trip to the injured list.  🌶️ Use code FOUL for 10% off at royalretros.com/discount/FOUL?aff=82 for vintage-inspired sports apparel celebrating classic teams, leagues and eras including the Houston Colt .45s See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
