The Astros have won the last nine games in this series, including two played in Oakland earlier this month. This is Houston's longest-ever win streak against the A's; its previous best had been a four-game win streak (done twice).

Houston has hit 27 home runs this season, 12 of which have led off an inning. That leads the AL and is second most in the majors (Mil, 13). The Astros hit 64 home runs to lead off an inning last season, which was tied for second in the majors.

Yonder Alonzo is batting .476 (10/21) with 11 runs batted in with runners in scoring position this season, which is a big increase over his 2016 batting average with RISP (.269).
