Notes

Jose Altuve is out of Sunday’s lineup after grabbing his left side and exiting Saturday’s game, with the Astros still awaiting MRI results. Houston has already secured the Silver Boot Series entering the finale, though the club will try for a sweep before opening a three-game set against the Twins on Monday at Daikin Park. After that series, the Astros finally get a day off before beginning another demanding 10-game stretch.
