 The Astros are hitting .257 as a team this season and holding opponents to a .214 batting average. That plus-.043 differential ranks fifth by any team in the live-ball era.

 Entering July, the Astros were hitting .263 as a team, and the Mariners were hitting .261. In July, the Astros and Mariners are hitting .234 and .242, respectively. These decreases in team batting average from pre-July&#61664;July rank first and third in MLB, respectively.

 Alex Bregman is one of three players in MLB with at least 70 runs scored and 70 runs batted in, along with J.D. Martinez and Jose Ramirez. He is one of three players in the last ten years to reach these totals before August in his age-24 season or younger; the other two were Bryce Harper (2017) and Mike Trout (2014).

 Dee Gordon has 29 hits and 0 walks in July, and has already reached this milestone (30+ H, 0 BB) once in his career (June 2015). He is seeking to become the first player to do this in multiple months of his career since Freddy Leach in July 1926 and July 1927.

 Gerrit Cole is striking out 12.43 batters per nine innings this season after posting a mark of 8.69 K/9 last season. This year-to-year improvement is the fifth largest in baseball history, and the largest jump since Mike Scott from 1985&#61664;1986 (5.56&#61664;10.00) (ERA qualifiers in both seasons).

 James Paxton has made six starts against Houston since the beginning of last season, and has held the Astros to a 1.54 ERA. That mark ranks third by any AL pitcher against a single opponent over that span (minimum six starts; Verlander, 1.26 vs. LAA; Clevinger, 1.53 vs. Det).

HP - Barrett, 1B - Welke, 2B - Morales, 3B - Randazzo

The Seattle Mariners plan to activate left-hander James Paxton off the 10-day disabled list to start their next game.
Of course, that was also true last week.
