Notes
The Astros enter Saturday with a three-game lead over Texas in the AL West after Friday’s 3-1 win over Arizona and the Rangers’ loss to Tampa Bay. Yordan Alvarez went 2-for-4 in the opener and enters tonight leading the AL with a .316 average while tied for the league lead with 37 home runs and 94 RBIs. Ethan Pecko makes his third major-league start as Houston looks for its fourth straight win and a series victory. Saturday’s game will air nationally on FOX rather than Space City Home Network, with streaming available through FOX ONE.
