Houston has gone 26-18 against Texas since 2017, but has only gone 8-11 at home compared to 18-7 on the road. The Astros have averaged 4.3 runs per game against the Rangers at home compared to 6.0 runs per game on the road.

Texas has won three of its last four games, scoring eight runs or more in each of the three wins. The Rangers have scored at least eight runs in 12 games this season, most in MLB, while the Astros have done so 10 times, tied for fourth most in MLB.

The Astros took two of three against the Royals in their last series, allowing four combined runs in the two wins but 12 runs in the loss. The Astros have allowed four runs or fewer in 26 games this season, tied for second most in MLB (Indians, 27).

Joey Gallo hit his 100th career home run against the Pirates on Wednesday in his 377th career game. Only two players in MLB history have reached 100 home runs in fewer games -- Ryan Howard (325) and Ralph Kiner (376).

Alex Bregman has hit six home runs over his last eight games, slugging .871 with 12 RBI in that span. He had been slugging .462 with four home runs over the first 27 games of the season.

Wade Miley hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in any of his 23 starts since last season. The only other pitcher with at least 15 starts and 100 innings pitched to allow three earned runs or fewer in every start since 2018 is Los Angeles' Hyun-Jun Ryu (22 starts with three ER or fewer).

HP - Holbrook, 1B - Gonzalez, 2B - Wolf, 3B - Iassogna

Under normal circumstances, Jake Marisnick serves as the primary defensive replacement in the outfield for the Astros, always entering to man center field when Houston seeks to protect a tenuous lead in the latter stages.
However, the Astros feature solid depth defensively in their outfield, and their wealth of talent was on display in the ninth inning Thursday as Josh Reddick made a lead-preserving grab when he reached over the wall in right field and brought back what would have been a three-run home run for Texas Rangers designated hitter (and, incidentally, former Astros right fielder) Hunter Pence.

Rangers try to shake 'unlucky' loss to Astros

HOUSTON (AP)  Justin Verlander continued his strong start to the season with arguably his best start of the year.
Verlander pitched one-hit ball for seven dominant innings, right fielder Josh Reddick made another leaping catch and the Houston Astros beat the Texas Rangers 3-0 on Friday night.
