The Houston Astros are 7-15 after losing Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals.
They won the series opener Friday behind Justin Verlander's season debut, but were unable to hold onto a 4-2 lead they carried into the eighth inning.
It's a dangerous precedent the Astros are setting if they intend the make the postseason. In a conventional year, no Astros team with a sub-.500 record has made the postseason.
