Notes
The Astros begin a 13-game stretch without an off day tonight in Cincinnati, with Houston searching for stability from a pitching staff battered by injuries and heavy bullpen usage. Mike Burrows gets the start opposite Nick Lodolo as the Astros open a three-game series against the Reds before returning home to face Seattle and then Texas.
