 After winning by 20 and winning by 15 runs, the Astros lost to the Athletics by 14 on Tuesday. They became the third team in MLB history to have three straight games decided by at least 14 runs, joining the 1893 Cleveland Spiders (three straight) and the 1876 White Stockings (four).

 The Royals have stolen 109 bases this season, tied with Seattle for second in MLB, behind only Texas (112). They have stolen third base 29 times, most in MLB, while have successfully bunted for a hit 29 times, most in MLB.

 Houston has won 10 of its last 14 games against Kansas City dating back to April 2017. In those games the Astros have outhomered the Royals, 25-15, while averaging 6.14 runs compared to Kansas City's 4.00.

 Over his last four starts, Gerrit Cole has struck out 55.6 percent of the batters he has faced (55 of 99 batters). That is the highest strikeout percentage in a four-start span in a season in the modern era (since 1900, minimum 75 batters faced).

 Whit Merrifield currently leads MLB in hits with 188 -- he led all of MLB last year with 192. Since 1969, only four players have led MLB in hits in back-to-back years: Ichiro (five straight from 2006 to 2010), Tony Gwynn (1994 and 1995 strike-shortened seasons), Kirby Puckett (1988-89) and Pete Rose (1972-73).

 Michael Brantley has hit .331 in his career at Kauffman Stadium, getting a hit in 10 of his last 11 games there. Among active players, that .331 average ranks fifth among visiting players at the ballpark (minimum 100 plate appearances).

Don't feel sorry for Wade Miley.
The left-hander is having an outstanding season for the Houston Astros, but is overshadowed by the star trio of Justin Verlander, Gerrit Cole and Zack Greinke. Verlander has 18 wins, Cole picked up his 17th Friday night and Greinke picked up his 16th win Saturday night.
