Notes
Houston continues its early-season search for stability on the mound, with Lance McCullers Jr. taking the ball behind a rotation that has already been stretched thin. The Astros lineup remains largely intact, with Yordan Alvarez hitting near the top and Carlos Correa anchoring the middle as the offense looks to provide support against Andre Pallante and a Cardinals club that took the opener.
