Notes
Houston enters Sunday trying to salvage what has been a disappointing nine-game homestand against AL West opponents. The Astros have already lost series to the Mariners and Angels, and a win today would give them a 4-5 record on the homestand. They remain one game ahead of Texas and three games ahead of Seattle in the AL West with 32 games remaining. After Monday’s off day, Houston opens a series against the Yankees on Tuesday, beginning a stretch of 13 consecutive games without an off day.
