Lucas Harrell takes tough-luck loss
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com

Astros starter Lucas Harrell allowed four hits and a walk over seven innings but it wasn't enough in a 1-0 loss to Jeff Locke and the Pirates.

Pittsburgh combined for a three-hitter to leave Harrell (3-5) with the loss, his third straight since winning three in a row. He struck out three and his only mistake was a solo homer to Pedro Alvarez in the fifth inning. 

Harrell has allowed one earned run in six of his 10 starts this season and two or fewer runs in seven of his 10 outings. But he's also allowed five or more runs in each of his other three starts. 

Harrell makes his next scheduled start Saturday against Oakland.

Singleton is expected to move quickly to Triple-A Oklahoma City as the top prospect in the organization, as ranked by MLB.com. 

The left-handed hitting first baseman hit .284 with 21 homers and 79 RBI over 131 games with Double-A Corpus Christi. He could push for playing time with Houston later this year.
