Astros

Houston has gone 9-2 against Chicago since 2018, its best record versus an American League opponent in that span (min. 10 games played). The Astros have outscored the White Sox by 3.45 runs per game in this span (6.18 to 2.73).

The Astros have won 77 of their 118 games. This is already the most wins through 120 games in franchise history, ahead of 2017, when Houston won 74 of its first 120 games in a season that ended with a World Series Championship.

Yordan Alvarez reached 50 RBI on Saturday in his 45th career game. That is the fewest games needed to reach 50 career RBI since it became an official stat in 1920, one game fewer than Joe DiMaggio.

Jose Abreu (24 HR, 83 RBI) has 20+ HR and 75+ RBI for the sixth time in six career seasons. This is the fifth-longest streak to begin a career in American League history, behind Ted Williams (10), Joe DiMaggio (10), Eddie Murray (nine) and Bob Johnson (nine).

Zack Greinke has 137 strikeouts and 23 walks this season. He is one of three pitchers with at least 125 Ks and 25 or fewer BB; the others are Max Scherzer (189 K, 25 BB) and Walker Buehler (160 K, 23 BB).

Dylan Cease has allowed a home run in each of his first six career starts, the longest streak to begin a career by a White Sox pitcher in the live-ball era (since 1920).

Zack Greinke's Houston Astros teammates backed him with plenty of offense in his club debut last week, leaving the right-hander admittedly antsy at times.
Back in the American League for the first time since 2012, Greinke was frank about his feelings during an 11-7 home win against the Colorado Rockies.
