The Houston Astros have lost six straight games and Carlos Correa was blunt in his profane assessment of the team’s recent play.

The Astros lost 6-2 to the Seattle Mariners on Monday at T-Mobile Park, the final game of a four-game sweep by their American League West rivals. It was their eighth loss in their last nine games, and the skid has dropped them to last in the AL West.

"I don’t want to attach our failures to the injuries. Our failures are because we’re playing s---ty baseball. We’re a good club playing bad baseball," Correa said via MLB.com.

While Correa won’t attach the team’s struggles to injuries, the lineup and pitching staff have been ravaged by them in the early going of the season.

The Astros placed All-Star shortstop Jeremy Peña on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring strain and rookie right-hander Tatsuya Imai on the 15-day injured list with right arm fatigue Monday. Since the start of the season, the team has placed starting pitcher Cristian Javier (Grade 2 right shoulder strain), outfielder Jake Meyers (Grade 2 right oblique strain), Hunter Brown (Grade 2 right shoulder strain) on the injured list.

They were already without star closer Josh Hader in the bullpen, who was placed on the IL at the end of March with left biceps tendinitis.
