Notes
The Astros return to Daikin Park for their final homestand of the regular season with 12 games left and little room for another stumble after being swept in Tampa Bay. Houston enters the night at 75-75 with a one-game lead over Texas in the AL West, while the Rangers open a three-game series against Boston. Hunter Brown (5-3, 3.52 ERA) gets the start opposite Michael Wacha (9-8, 3.25), who has posted a 2.29 ERA since the All-Star break.
