Notes
The Astros can secure the Silver Boot Series opener set tonight before Sunday’s finale, but they’ll have to do it against Jacob deGrom, who enters with a 2.62 ERA and 57 strikeouts across eight starts. Houston turns to Kai-Wei Teng for his second start with the club as the Astros continue navigating a stretch of 13 consecutive games without a day off.
