Tampa Bay has won its last four home series against the Astros, posting an overall record of 10-3 during this streak. Overall, the Rays and the Astros split their six meetings in 2016.

Not only have the Astros won their last four road games, they have scored 7+ runs in each of these victories (after being shut out in their 2017 road opener). The last time they won 5+ straight road games while scoring 7+ runs in each game was a five-game streak, April 25-29, 2015.

Opponents have struggled at the plate in Tampa Bay's home games in the month of April in recent seasons (.205 in April 2015, .197 in April 2016 & .203 in April 2017). The Rays, who gave up one run on five hits in Thursday's home victory over the Tigers, have now won their last six games at Tropicana Field.

George Springer has seven total home runs in 2017, four off righthanders and three off lefthanders. Yoenis Cespedes is the only other player to have 3+ homers against both lefties and righties this season.

Mike Fiers is undefeated in his last four road starts, going 3-0 with a 3.27 (8/22.0) ERA and striking out 20 batters while walking just five in his 22.0 innings of work during this streak.

Alex Cobb has a 2.54 (17/60.1) ERA over his last 10 home starts, which dates back to July 2014. That is the third-lowest home ERA by an AL pitcher since that date (minimum 10 home starts).

HP - Bucknor, 1B - Gonzalez, 2B - Culbreth, 3B - Carlson

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Rays understand they have a limited margin for error, and for the second time in three games, one of their defensive stalwarts endured a rough day in the field.
On Wednesday, the Rays survived a three-run misplay by Gold Glove center fielder Kevin Kiermaier and still edged the Tigers, but on Friday against the Houston Astros, third baseman Evan Longoria couldn't come up with a routine play that allowed the winning run to score.

Astros-Rays Preview

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP)  The first month of Austin Pruitt's first season in the majors has been a rough ride. Things are looking up right now, though, for the Tampa Bay Rays' rookie reliever.
Pruitt improved to 2-0 on the season after tossing 2 1/3 innings of hitless relief, and Tim Beckham's third straight hit came during a four-run sixth inning that helped carry the Rays past the Houston Astros 6-3 on Saturday night for their fourth win in five games.
