 The Rangers have allowed 55 runs over their last five games, the most the team has ever allowed over any five-game span in franchise history. The only other team in MLB to allow 55+ runs over any five-game span in 2019 is Colorado, who allowed exactly 55 runs from July 13-16 (all games played at Coors).

 Houston is 4-4 in its last eight games, splitting two four-game series on the road against the Rangers and the Angels. Houston is 30-11 against AL West teams this season, including a 12-1 mark at home.

 In 26 career games, Yordan Alvarez has 34 hits and 31 RBI. Since RBI became official in 1920, only three other players have recorded 30+ hits and 30+ RBI through as many games: Jim Greengrass (1952-53), Zeke Bonura (1934) and Mandy Brooks (1925).

 Danny Santana hit two home runs in the Rangers' most recent game, a 19-4 loss against Arizona. Santana has 13 HR in 249 plate appearances this season, equaling his career total entering this season across five seasons and 1165 plate appearances.

 Through 20 starts this season, Justin Verlander has a 0.81 WHIP and a .169 opponent batting average. The last two pitchers to have a sub-0.85 WHIP and a sub-.170 opponent batting average through 20 starts in a season were Pedro Martinez in 2000 and Luis Tiant in 1968.

 Mike Minor allowed four earned runs in 5.0 innings when these teams faced off last Saturday. Minor allowed three base-hits with runners in scoring position in that start -- in his six prior starts, Minor limited opponents to two combined hits with RISP in 41.1 IP.

HP - Barrett, 1B - Guccione, 2B - Welke, 3B - Iassogna

With the Astros attempting to piecemeal their way through a short-handed rotation, one that continues to tax their deep but overworked bullpen, Houston manager A.J. Hinch will continue to savor those moments when the high-wire act yields favorable results.
Hinch used "openers" to start two of the four games the Astros played against the Los Angeles Angels earlier this week, and until the Astros either trade for starting pitching or get right-hander Brad Peacock off the 10-day injured list, the strain will continue to rest on the Houston relievers.

HOUSTON (AP)  After two rough starts for the Astros earlier this month, Jose Urquidy worked on a few adjustments.
Whatever he adjusted worked in a big way Saturday night.
