 Houston hit six home runs and totaled 22 runs in the first two games against Toronto on June 14-15 before it was shut out 12-0 in the series finale. Yordan Alvarez went 6-for-12 with two homers in that series while Josh Reddick was 5-for-11 with a home run and two doubles.

 Toronto's struggles continued Wednesday with a 9-4 loss to Atlanta, its seventh defeat in nine games. The Blue Jays have averaged 2.8 runs and batted .214 during that nine-game span while the bullpen has compiled a 6.89 ERA and allowed 12 homers in 49.2 innings.

 Houston fell 9-8 to the Rays on Thursday and had a six-game winning streak snapped despite drawing a season-high 10 walks. Even with the loss, the Astros still have their best record ever after 135 games. Houston needs 13 wins in its final 27 games to clinch its third straight 100-win season.

 Wade Miley, Friday's projected starter, is 7-0 with a 2.93 ERA in his last 12 starts since his last loss at Cincinnati on June 17. He's allowed three earned runs or fewer in 11 straight starts, the longest active run in the AL among traditional starting pitchers. Miley is 0-3 despite a 2.50 ERA in his last three starts vs. Toronto.

 Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is tied for sixth in the AL with 13 multi-hit games since July 27. Since July 19, he ranks fourth in the majors with a .367 average (minimum 100 PA) and is tied for seventh with 33 RBI.

 Alex Bregman's .409 (38-for-93) average in August is the best by any Astro in any calendar month since Jose Altuve hit .485 (48-for-99) in July 2017 (min. 90 PA). Bregman has reached base safely in 22 straight games during which he's slashing .407/.480/.756. That's tied for the second-longest active streak (Pete Alonso -- 24).

Justin Verlander has dominated the big leagues for a long time, but the Toronto Blue Jays haven't followed the trend in recent years.
Verlander will get his next opportunity to end a six-year dry spell against the Blue Jays when he takes the mound for the visiting Houston Astros in the rubber game of the three-game series on Sunday afternoon.

Astros' Verlander tries to end winless span vs. Jays

TORONTO (AP)  Justin Verlander took the mound for the ninth inning, fully aware of the no-hitters he finished - and his near misses, too.
Zeroed in, he wouldn't be denied this time.
