The Phillies haven’t scored since Sunday. After a 2-0 loss on Wednesday, they are now scoreless in the past 19 innings, the longest drought of the season.

Victor Caratini homered, Isaac Paredes drove in a run and the Houston Astros shut out the Philadelphia Phillies for a second straight game with a 2-0 victory on Wednesday night. Houston starter Colton Gordon (3-1) allowed four singles and struck out four in five innings.

Gordon threw 57 of 80 pitches for strikes, relying mostly on his four-seamer and sweeping slider. The Phillies put six balls into play against him with a exit velocity of 98.9 mph or higher. Only one fell for a base hit. The two hardest-hit balls against Gordon yielded lineouts to the left side.
