The Astros took two of three in the first series of the season against the Red Sox last week as the teams combined for 21 runs in the three-game series. Since May 1, the Astros have the third-best record in MLB at 15-6 with the Red Sox right behind at 14-6, the fourth-best record in baseball.

Boston won three of four at Toronto, outhitting the Blue Jays, 48-30, in the series. The Red Sox are 11-3 in their last 14 road games after starting the season just 3-10 on the road.

Houston split a four-game set with the White Sox, averaging 3.0 runs per game in the series. The Astros have put up 30 runs in their last eight games after scoring 45 runs in their previous four games.

Mookie Betts plated his 25th run of the season on Thursday against the Blue Jays. He is one of six Red Sox who have reached 25 RBI already this year -- only the Mariners have more such players (seven).

Carlos Correa has a 1.087 career OPS against the Red Sox in the regular season, the third-highest mark in the live-ball era (since 1920) behind Babe Ruth (1.146) and Lou Gehrig (1.099; minimum 100 PA).

Chris Sale has struck out 50 percent of batters faced over his last four starts (51/102). The last pitcher to have a four-start span with a 50.0 percent or higher strikeout rate was Pedro Martinez -- also with Boston -- in his 1999 Cy Young campaign (54.2 percent; minimum 80 batters faced).

HP - Gibson, 1B - Visconti, 2B - Marquez, 3B - Barry

With Astros outfielder George Springer placed on the 10-day injured list with a Grade-2 left hamstring strain, Houston recalled outfielder Derek Fisher from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, a decision that required some explanation given the status of two higher-profiled prospects.
Kyle Tucker, the Astros' second-ranked prospect overall, was slashing .266/.345/.614 with 14 home runs and 33 RBIs. Yordan Alvarez has been arguably the top overall hitter in the minors this season with a slash line of .374/.460/.816 with 19 homers and 57 RBIs. Yet the Astros envision filling the void left by Springer with a reserve, a role Fisher has managed previously.

Astros sending ace Verlander out to sweep Red Sox

HOUSTON (AP)  Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora was asked after a 4-1 win over the Astros if he uses the two recent series against Houston as a measuring stick for how good his team is.
''No, I don't,'' Cora said with a grin. ''If I say that, then they've got bragging rights.''
