Notes
The Astros enter Saturday at 79-81, tied with the Rangers atop the AL West with two games remaining. Houston owns the tiebreaker, so if the teams finish with identical records, the Astros win the division. Hayden Wesneski (5-2, 3.50 ERA, 41 SO) starts for Houston against Jack Perkins (3-12, 5.90 ERA, 131 SO). Yordan Alvarez enters the night one RBI shy of tying his career high of 104, while the Astros continue trying to stumble across the finish line and into October.
