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).

Opponents have 250 total bases against Oakland's pitching staff this season, which is tied with the Orioles for second fewest in the majors (NYY, 218).

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).

Jharel Cotton is 2-0 with a 1.38 ERA in his two daytime starts this season, compared to 0-2 with a 9.31 ERA is his two nighttime starts. That 7.93 ERA differential is the largest in the majors (minimum 1 IP/team G) (ERA in night games higher).

Charlie Morton has the third-lowest career HR/9 rate (0.71) among active pitchers (minimum 900 career IP). He has given up just one long ball in 21.0 innings of work this season.

HP - West, 1B - Wendelstedt, 2B - Fletcher, 3B - De Jesus

HOUSTON -- At one point during the Astros' series against the Cleveland Indians, Houston manager A.J. Hinch had a two-time batting champion, a near All-Star last season, and a potential Hall of Famer on his bench in part due to a rash of injuries.
While splitting their six-game road trip through Tampa Bay and Cleveland, the Astros lost a pair of outfielders (George Springer and Jake Marisnick) plus All-Star second baseman Jose Altuve to injury. The cruelty in Altuve going down with a sore shoulder was that his injury came via a collision with Teoscar Hernandez, an outfielder called up to replace Marisnick (concussion) on the active roster.

He was much more excited that his work helped the Oakland Athletics end their longest losing streak of the season.
