The Mariners and Astros last met in Houston between August 9-12 -- Seattle came away with a four-game sweep and found themselves four games out of first place in the division. Since then, however, the Astros have gone 21-9 while the Mariners have gone 13-17, dropping Seattle to 12.0 games back.

The Astros have gone 12-2 (.857) in September, outscoring opponents 75-43. Houston's win percentage this month leads MLB, and the team's September ERA (3.01) is the lowest in the American League.

The Mariners have won three of four following a stretch of four losses in five games. At 82-67 (.550), Seattle would be in the second wild card position if they played in the National League -- as it stands, they trail Oakland by 7.5 games for the American League's second spot.

Mitch Haniger has strung together five consecutive multi-hit games, going 10-for-22 (.455) with five runs, four extra-base hits and four RBI in those games. His is the longest active streak in MLB, and is tied for the fifth longest in the American League this season.

Jose Altuve has posted a 1.131 OPS over his past six games, picking up multiple hits in four of the six. Since 2014, Altuve has 292 multi-hit games, most in MLB. Charlie Blackmon (260) is the only other hitter in MLB with at least 250 multi-hit games over that span.

Framber Valdez made his debut on August 21, and has posted a 2.66 ERA in four starts and one relief appearance. His 2.66 mark ranks fifth among AL left-handers since his debut (min. 20 IP). Heading up that list is his opponent today, Wade LeBlanc, who has posted a 1.13 ERA since August 21.

HP - Gibson, 1B - Johnson, 2B - Gorman, 3B - Lentz

HOUSTON -- Astros right-hander Lance McCullers threw a simulated game on Tuesday in West Palm Beach, Fla., the next step in his return from an injury that has sidelined him for six weeks.
McCullers (10-6, 3.93 ERA) was lost to a right forearm strain on Aug. 4 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He has logged career highs in innings (126), wins (10), and strikeouts (138) for the Astros (95-56). Whenever he returns it will be in a bullpen capacity. McCullers has yet to appear in relief during the regular season, but he did work out of the bullpen twice last postseason, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks with 10 strikeouts over seven combined innings in Game 3 of the American League Division Series and Game 7 of the AL Championship Series.

Mariners still unsure of starter in rubber match vs. Astros

HOUSTON (AP)  Mariners manager Scott Servais loves how his team is hitting lately. He only wishes this offensive outburst had come earlier in the season.
Robinson Cano drove in three runs, three players homered and seven pitchers combined for a five-hitter in Seattle's 9-0 rout of the Houston Astros on Wednesday night.
