 Houston is 7-1 against Oakland this season, and since 2016, Houston's 44-21 record against Oakland is the second-best mark between any two divisional opponents in MLB (Indians vs. Tigers, 52-17).

 The A's have homered in 21 straight games, tied with the Nationals for the second-longest such streak in MLB this season (Yankees, 31) -- the A's last had a longer streak in 1996 (23).

 Since the All-Star break, the A's and Astros are slugging .555 and .508, respectively, the top two marks in the American League. The Astros lead the AL in hits (111) and runs (67) since the break, while the A's have the best record in the AL since the break (7-2).

 Michael Brantley is coming off back-to-back three-hit games, and he's had at least three hits four times in July, tied for most in MLB. He has 10 games of at least three hits in 2019 -- only five American Leaguers have more.

 Jose Altuve has homered in each of his last two games, and his 14 home runs in 2019 have surpassed his total from 2018 (13), despite playing in less than half as many games (137 in 2018, 65 in 2019).

 Ramon Laureano has scored 20 runs in July, second in MLB to Mookie Betts (23). Laureano has 14 extra-base hits this month, tied for second in MLB behind Yuli Gurriel (15). His nine multi-hit games this month are tied for most in MLB.

Following a 47-game absence courtesy of a left hamstring strain, Astros utility man Aledmys Diaz made his triumphant return Monday at Minute Maid Park, slugging a three-run home run as Houston ran roughshod over the visiting Oakland Athletics in the opener of a pivotal three-game series.
The bigger picture for the Astros is what Diaz and his return represent.

Astros, nearing full health, out to seal series win over A's

HOUSTON (AP)  After struggling on defense, Oakland's Ramon Laureano was determined to atone for his mistakes when he came up to the plate with the game tied in the 11th inning against the Houston Astros.
''I just keep moving forward ... I just think about that I'm going to get in the most important situation in the game,'' he said. ''That's how I always think and just move forward and help the team win in any way that I can.''
