 The Astros are 23-4 at Minute Maid Park since June 28, which matches the most wins at home over a 27-game span in franchise history (also accomplished in 1969 and 2005). Houston, which has won all six 2019 meetings at home with Seattle and is 12-1 in this year's season series, enters this set four wins shy of tying the team season record of 55 home victories (1980, 1998).

 The Mariners managed just one run in each of its two losses to the Cubs at Wrigley Field earlier this week, which dropped them to 5-52 this season when they score three or fewer. Only the Royals (5-58), Angels (4-47) and Orioles (4-59) have worse records when producing three or less runs.

 Alex Bregman leads the majors with a .423 average since Aug. 1 (min. 100 PA) and enters the series having reached base safely in 27 straight games. It's Bregman's fourth such streak of 25 games or more since 2018. No other player has more than two 25-game on-base streaks during that period.

 Kyle Seager is a home run away from joining Nelson Cruz, Edwin Encarnacion and Mike Trout as the only players with 20 or more homers in each of the last eight seasons, and the first Mariner to do so in eight straight campaigns.

 Wade Miley enters Thursday's start 7-0 with a 2.78 ERA over his last 13 starts, while Gerrit Cole will take a club-record 17-start unbeaten streak into Sunday's scheduled outing. It's the first time in team history the Astros have had two pitchers go at least 13 starts without a loss within a season in the same year.

 Marco Gonzales has allowed 1.36 home runs per 9 innings on the road and 0.54 per 9 innings at home, second only to Kansas City's Jakob Junis for the largest difference among current qualified AL pitchers.

HP - Wendelstedt, 1B - West, 2B - Iassogna, 3B - Mahrley

The Houston Astros will ride the red-hot right arm of Gerrit Cole into Sunday's series finale against the visiting Seattle Mariners looking for a four-game sweep.
Cole (15-5, 2.81 ERA) is 11-0 with a 2.03 ERA over his last 17 starts, posting 166 strikeouts over 110 2/3 innings during that stretch. The majors' leader in punchouts has established a franchise record with 16 double-digit strikeout performances this season, including four in succession, and enters Sunday 10 strikeouts shy of matching his single-season high of 276 set in 2018.

Cole, Astros seek 4-game sweep of Mariners

HOUSTON (AP)  Gerrit Cole had a special game on his 29th birthday Sunday.
If not for Shed Long's homer into the short porch in left field, the day would have been perfect.
