 Houston took eight of the first nine matchups with Oakland this season but the A's have won four of the last six. The Astros are 46-15 against the AL West this season, the best record by any team against its own division.

 Oakland's starting pitchers have posted a 3.18 ERA over the last 35 games, second best in the AL dating back to July 29 (Houston is third at 3.57). The A's starters have walked just 2.05 batters per nine innings in that span, best in MLB.

 The Astros defeated the Mariners by 20 runs yesterday after beating the Orioles by 21 runs on Aug. 10. They're the first team to win two games by 20+ runs in the same season since the 1939 Yankees (three).

 Marcus Semien has hit for the cycle in his last five games, totaling three singles, three doubles, one triple and one home run. This is the second time this season he has matched each of those totals in a five-game span -- the only other player in the AL with multiple such spans is Detroit's JaCoby Jones.

 Yordan Alvarez hit three doubles yesterday in his 70th career game, bringing him to 22 doubles and 22 home runs on the season. That is the fastest a player has ever reached 20 doubles and 20 home runs in MLB history, surpassing Ronald Acuna Jr.'s record set last season (77 games).

 Mike Fiers has made 21 straight starts without a loss, tied for the third-longest streak in the live-ball era (since 1920). Zack Greinke is one win away from his eighth 15-win season in the last nine years -- in the last 35 years, only Greg Maddux and Randy Johnson have had eight 15-win seasons in a nine-year span.

HP - Johnson, 1B - Conroy, 2B - Hudson, 3B - Blaser

By mid-August, the Astros opened such a sizable lead in the American League West that even after losing three of four in Oakland, they escaped the Bay Area with a seven-game division lead.
In the four weeks since, Houston has inched further ahead in pursuit of its third consecutive division title. With their four-game series sweep of the visiting Seattle Mariners, completed Sunday with a 21-1 victory, the Astros reduced their magic number to clinch the AL West to 10 games.

Red-hot Astros face just-as-hot A's pitcher Fiers

HOUSTON (AP)  The Houston Astros showed how powerful their lineup can be for a second straight game.
Zack Greinke struck out five in six strong innings, Robinson Chirinos and Yordan Alvarez each homered twice as Houston hit a major league-record six home runs in the first two innings, and the high-scoring Astros routed the Oakland Athletics 15-0 Monday night for their fifth straight victory.
