Notes
Peter Lambert makes the start as the Astros continue to patch together a taxed rotation early in the season. Houston sticks with a righty-heavy lineup behind Yordan Alvarez, who remains the anchor in the two-hole. Christian Vázquez draws the start behind the plate, while Nick Allen stays in at shortstop as the Astros look to open the series with a win.
