 The Astros and Reds have met twice since Houston made the switch to the AL. There was a Reds sweep in 2013, and a 2-1 series win for the ‘Stros in 2016. Houston is 16-21 against its former division since changing leagues, its worst record against any division over that time.

 The Astros took two of three from the Blue Jays in Houston, their 13th consecutive series won or tied. That is the longest active streak in baseball and one short of the longest streak in team history. The Astros won or tied 14 consecutive series from April 15 to May 24, 1998.

 The Reds defeated the Rangers 11-3 on Sunday to avoid the sweep. This is the third consecutive series in which Cincinnati has needed to win the final game to avoid the sweep. In June, Cincinnati has scored 6.5 runs per game in four wins and 1.5 runs per game in eight losses.

 Jesse Winker had four hits and five RBI in Sunday's win over the Rangers, the most hits and most RBI in any game of his career. Winker has an OPS of .919 in home games this season and a .634 OPS in away games.

 Alex Bregman has 10 walks in his last five games. The only other player with 10 walks in a five-game span this season is Mike Trout (LAA, April 6 to April 15).

 Luis Castillo has pitched at least 5.0 innings in all seven home starts this season, and he has allowed one earned run or fewer in five of the seven starts. Aaron Nola, Hyun-Jin Ryu and Julio Teheran are the only NL pitchers who have as many home starts with 5.0+ innings pitched and one ER or fewer.

HP - Wolcott, 1B - Hudson, 2B - Ortiz, 3B - Johnson

The Houston Astros are ready to get second baseman Jose Altuve back in the lineup.
Altuve has been out since May 10 because of a strained left hamstring. He finished a rehab assignment Monday night at Triple-A Round Rock, met the Astros in Cincinnati on Tuesday night -- they lost to the Reds 4-3 -- and is expected to be activated from the injured list before the series finale on Wednesday.

Astros expect Altuve back as they try to avoid sweep

CINCINNATI (AP)  Gerrit Cole was in line for a rare win over Cincinnati. The Astros' impressive streak of avoiding sweeps appeared safe once more.
With a pair of two-out swings in the ninth, everything changed.
