Notes
The Astros will try to rebound from Friday’s 3-1 loss, when Junior Caminero’s walk-off homer clinched a postseason berth for Tampa Bay. They’ll have to do it without Yordan Alvarez for a second straight game, raising questions about whether his injured right ankle is worse than initially indicated. With Houston’s AL West lead down to three games and just 14 remaining, his absence is becoming increasingly consequential.
