Notes
The Astros open a three-game series against the last-place Athletics Friday night at Daikin Park, looking to rebound from Thursday’s 18-3 loss to the Angels and salvage the final series of the homestand. Jeremy Peña remains out of the starting lineup after being hit on the right hand by a pitch Wednesday, with Nick Allen again starting at shortstop. Hayden Wesneski takes the mound as Houston tries to protect its one-game lead over the Rangers in the AL West.
