 The Tigers have a 1-19-2 (.091) series record since May 31, the worst in the majors over that time. Detroit's only series win its last 22 series came when the team took two of three games against the Angels in late July.

 The Astros return home after going 4-6 on a 10-game road. Since the All-Star break, Houston is an MLB-best, 10-1, at home, while leading the majors in home ERA (1.87) and runs per game at home (7.27).

 Over his last 12 games, Michael Brantley is batting .481 (25-for-52) with 11 extra-base hits and 16 runs scored. Brantley's 25 hits over this time are the most that he has ever recorded over any 12-game span in his career.

 Brandon Dixon leads the Tigers with 14 home runs this season, as Detroit is the only team in MLB that does not have a player with 15+ HR. The Astros have seven players with 15+ home runs this season, tied with the A's and Mariners for second most in the majors (Twins -- 8).

 In his first 10 home starts of his Astros career, Wade Miley has a 2.02 ERA across 62.1 innings pitched. Miley's ERA is the second lowest all-time by a left-handed pitcher in his first 10 career home starts with the Astros, trailing only Bob Knepper (1.13 ERA).

 Alex Bregman has 92 walks compared to just 65 strikeouts this season, making him one of three qualified batters in 2019 with more walks than strikeouts, along with Carlos Santana and Mookie Betts. Of those three players, Bregman's difference in walks and strikeouts (27) is the largest.

HP - Rehak, 1B - Marquez, 2B - Rackley, 3B - Wolcott

What was evident over the final two innings of their 2-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers at Minute Maid Park on Wednesday was the Houston Astros' desire to maintain momentum, even at the cost of sound thinking.
Two critical baserunning blunders undermined the Astros in support of another brilliant effort from right-hander Justin Verlander, who allowed two solo home runs while posting 11 strikeouts in a 99-pitch complete game. Houston -- now 17-3 over its last 20 home games -- could have clinched the series with a win, but have another shot at claiming the four-game set Thursday.

Astros look to rebound, win series from Tigers

HOUSTON (AP)  A day after failing to back a gem by ace Justin Verlander, Alex Bregman and the Houston Astros were determined to convert on another from Gerrit Cole.
Cole struck out 12 over seven scoreless innings, Bregman homered and the Astros beat the Detroit Tigers 6-3 Thursday night. After the Tigers stunned Houston in a 2-1 win Wednesday despite Verlander's complete-game two-hitter, the Astros gave Cole more than enough run support.
