Notes
The Astros enter their final home game of the regular season needing a win to avoid a sweep by Atlanta, with just seven games remaining and their margin for error essentially gone. Houston fell out of first place in the AL West Saturday and sits one game behind Texas after the Rangers’ win over Toronto. Brice Matthews returns to the starting lineup after missing more than two months with a left knee sprain; he was activated from the 60-day IL Saturday and will start in center field. Hunter Brown gets the ball as the Astros try to salvage the series and leave Daikin Park with a badly needed win.
