Houston Astros starter Dallas Keuchel seems to have lost his magic touch.

Keuchel, who won the Cy Young Award last season, allowed at least five runs for the third straight outing in a 6-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins. He’s 2-4 with a 5.11 ERA in six starts this season.

Keuchel had walked only three batters in 20 innings in his three previous starts, but he walked five in this one.
