Trent Grisham, the veteran pitcher for the Houston Astros, was again handed a tough matchup on Tuesday, this time facing a right‑handed starter instead of his usual left‑handed opponents. The decision came as the Astros adjusted their rotation to counter the opposing team's lineup, hoping Grisham’s experience could neutralize the right‑handed threat. Despite the strategic shift, Grisham’s outing was a reminder of the challenges he faces when pitching to right‑handers, a factor that could influence the Astros’ approach in future games.
For the second straight game Tuesday, Trent Grisham was not leading off against a right-hander.
