Notes
Ronel Blanco is back, and the Astros will hand him the ball Tuesday night as they look to build on Monday’s 6-3 win over the White Sox. Houston enters Game 2 of the four-game series at 70-68, two games ahead of Texas in the AL West as September gets underway. Blanco returns to the rotation looking for his first win of the season, while Chicago counters with right-hander Sean Burke.
