 Houston has won nine in a row, sweeping the Mariners, Yankees, and Athletics. The Astros are averaging 5.8 runs and slugging .550 in that stretch -- they averaged 2.1 runs while slugging .363 in their first seven games of the season.

 The Athletics have produced at least 10 hits in seven straight games, their longest streak since 2013 (eight straight). They have scored at least seven runs in five consecutive games, their longest streak since 2013 (five straight).

 Since last season, the Astros are 15-7 against the Athletics, outscoring them 133-86. Oakland has a 5.56 ERA against Houston since last season, its highest against any opponent.

 Jose Altuve is on a seven-game hitting streak, batting .448 with six home runs. In his first nine games he hit just .229 with one home run. Of his seven home runs this season, six have been solo shots, tied with Khris Davis for most in MLB.

 Over his last 162 games, Khris Davis has hit 57 home runs and driven in 139 RBI, which both lead MLB (since April 5, 2018). The only other Athletics with such numbers in a 162-game span in franchise history are Mark McGwire and Jimmie Foxx.

 The trio of Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, and Carlos Correa are hitting a combined .319 with 10 home runs. The rest of the team is hitting .264 with 13 home runs.

The Oakland Athletics hope to see the other side of right-hander Collin McHugh when the Houston Astros visit to open a two-game series on Tuesday night in Oakland, Calif.
McHugh limited the A's to one run and three hits over six innings in a 3-2 win when the clubs met in Houston on April 5.

Astros look for 10th win in a row when they visit Athletics

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)  Collin McHugh has had a few close calls on the mound - nothing like this line drive he somehow dodged with an acrobatic maneuver that allowed the Astros to turn a nifty double play behind him.
The ball hit by Kendrys Morales in the second inning of Houston's 9-1 win against the Athletics on Tuesday night skimmed in front of McHugh's face as his body bent backward and went parallel to the ground, reminiscent to the old Limbo dance. The ball touched the tip of the pitcher's ring finger, a much better option than his head or jaw - ''probably the best place it could have hit me.''
