Notes
Cristian Javier takes the ball looking to steady himself after a rough start to the season, having allowed 12 earned runs across his first two outings. Jeremy Peña, recently returned from a fractured finger, remains in the leadoff spot as the Astros try to salvage the final game of the series after dropping the first two in Denver. Houston faces Michael Lorenzen in a matchup of right-handers, with both pitchers entering the game carrying ERAs above 12.
