Houston has won nine of 11 games against Oakland this season, holding Oakland to 2.5 runs per game and 6.2 hits per game. They are 22-11 in Oakland since the start of 2016, the best road record by any AL team against the A's in that span.

The Astros are 38-12 (.760) against the AL West this season, on pace to be the best record by any team against its own division since divisional play began in 1969. The current record is 19-7 (.731) by the 1994 Mariners, who played just 26 games in a strike-shortened season.

Oakland split a two-game set with San Francisco and has alternated wins and losses over its last nine games. They've held opponents to a .291 on-base percentage so far this month, third-lowest in MLB; only the Dodgers (.276) and Rays (.288) are better.

Yuli Gurriel hit two home runs on Wednesday, improving his career-best home run total to 25 this season. He's slugging .854 since July 1, best in MLB in that span (minimum 100 PA), and his 17 HR in that span are tied with Mike Trout for the most in baseball.

Mike Fiers will make the start against his former team tonight, boasting an AL-best 1.79 ERA since the All-Star Break (minimum 5 starts). He's thrown 5.0+ innings, allowing three or fewer runs in each of his last 19 starts, the second-longest single-season streak by an AL pitcher in the live-ball era; Johan Santana had 22 consecutive such starts in his 2004 Cy Young season.

Both the Astros and Athletics have seven players with 15+ home runs this season, tied for second-most in MLB behind the Twins (eight). Houston's Robinson Chirinos sits at 13 home runs, two away from becoming the eighth Astro to hit 15 home runs, while Oakland's Stephen Piscotty is three homers away from joining that club.

The visiting Houston Astros and Oakland Athletics are expected to trot out new looks Saturday afternoon when the American League West front-runners continue their four-game series.
The A's used seven homers and a walk-off single by Robbie Grossman to trim two games from their 9 1/2-game deficit in two nights with a pair of one-run decisions, 7-6 and 3-2.

A's seek to gain more ground on Astros

OAKLAND,Calif. (AP)  Chris Bassitt believes the Oakland Athletics' struggles against the Houston Astros are due in part to the perception that the 2017 World Series championship are unbeatable.
He helped pierce that aura of invincibility on Saturday.
