 The Astros took two of three games against the Athletics before enjoying an off day on Thursday. Houston is an MLB-best, 12-2, this season following an off day.

 The Cardinals have moved into a tie with the Cubs for first place in the NL Central after a red-hot start to the second half of the season. St. Louis' 11-3 record since the All-Star break is tied with the Giants for the best in MLB.

 Jose Altuve has 1497 career hits in 1187 career games. He can become one of the fastest second baseman to reach 1500 hits in the modern era (since 1900) -- Nap Lajoie reached 1500 hits in 996 games, Rogers Hornsby in 1126 games, Frankie Frisch in 1146 games, Billy Herman in 1171 games, and Charlie Gehringer in 1196 games.

 Paul Goldschmidt has hit a home run in a career-high four straight games. The only players this season to a hit home run in five straight games are Houston's Yuli Gurriel and Jose Altuve.

 Over his last three starts, Jack Flaherty has a 0.98 ERA (2/18.1) with a .172 opponent batting average. Flaherty, however, has struggled in his career in interleague play, posting a 5.59 ERA over seven starts.

 In 17 games in July, Michael Brantley is slashing .391/.452/.672 with 10 extra-base hits and seven runs scored. Brantley has 41 multi-hit games this season, second in the majors to Ketel Marte (43).

HP - Gibson, 1B - Davis, 2B - Miller, 3B - Hoberg

As the trade deadline approaches, and the Houston Astros continue to consider adding another starting pitcher to their top-heavy rotation, injury issues within their bullpen could make pursuing a reliever a viable endeavor.
With right-handed reliever Josh James already on the 10-day injured list with shoulder soreness, the Astros appear set to avoid using right-hander Ryan Pressly in Sunday's series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals. Pressly continues to deal with a bothersome right knee that has been problematic since he was struck by a batted ball on July 18 against the Los Angeles Angels.

Astros' bullpen seeks help in series finale at Cards

ST. LOUIS (AP)  George Springer has become a master at setting the tone for the Houston Astros.
Springer led off the game with a home run, Jose Altuve and rookie Yordan Alvarez also connected and the Astros beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-2 Sunday.
