Notes
The Astros open a three-game series against the Angels on Tuesday night at Daikin Park, with Cristian Javier facing George Klassen. Houston enters the series 63-62 and atop the AL West, making this the kind of series the Astros need to take advantage of against a 49-76 Angels team. After dropping two of three to Seattle over the weekend, there is little room for giving games away against a struggling division opponent.
