After scoring a season-high 15 runs on Saturday, Kansas City dropped the rubber game of its three-game series in Detroit yesterday, 5-2. The loss gave the Royals their MLB-high eighth series defeat of 2019.

The Astros swept their two-game series with the Angels in Mexico this weekend with a 14-2 win on Saturday and a 10-4 victory on Sunday. The 24 runs were the most for Houston in any two-game span over the last two seasons, as were its eight home runs that it hit over the two contests.

Since August 28, 2018, Adalberto Mondesi leads the American League with 52 RBI. Over that same span, he leads all of baseball with 25 stolen bases -- his teammate Whit Merrifield ranks second with 23.

Alex Bregman went 5-for-10 with three home runs and eight RBI in the two-game set in Mexico, including hitting his third career grand slam yesterday. Bregman had four home runs and 13 RBI over his first 27 games this season but has five homers and 10 RBI over his last five contests.

After a 10-strikeout effort against the Indians on April 25, Gerrit Cole struck out 10 Twins on April 30 over 7.0 innings, yielding zero runs and just one hit. It is the third time in his career he has posted 10+ strikeouts in consecutive games (three straight from 4/1 - 4/13/18; two straight from 4/29 - 5/4/18).

Jakob Junis posted his second quality start of the year his last time out, allowing two runs and two hits over 6.1 innings against the Rays. In two career starts against Houston, he is 0-1 while allowing 15 hits, 13 runs (10 earned) and four home runs in 9.0 innings.

HP - Knight, 1B - Davis, 2B - Hoberg, 3B - Gibson

On the heels of fielding a historically effective pitching staff, the Houston Astros took a calculated risk by opening this season with a pair of right-handed relievers as members of their starting rotation.
Both Collin McHugh and Brad Peacock had ample experience as starters prior to this season, but both worked out of the bullpen in 2018 when the Astros set standards for run suppression. And while the Astros entered Tuesday ranked fourth in the majors in ERA (3.60), the results of late for McHugh and Peacock have been spotty, with McHugh scuffling again in his eighth start.

Astros turn to Peacock in rubber match against Royals

HOUSTON (AP)  After struggling recently while pitching out of the stretch, Brad Peacock went to a full windup Wednesday night and found a little something extra.
Michael Brantley homered twice, Peacock pitched seven innings and Josh James completed the three-hitter in Houston's 9-0 win over the Kansas City Royals.
