Since the Astros switched to the American League in 2013, they have taken 15 of the 24 meetings with the Diamondbacks. In that span, the Astros are 15-1 when scoring four runs or more, but 0-8 when held to three runs or fewer.

The Astros rallied to win two of three against the Angels although each of the last two games went to extra innings. The Astros have played in three extra-inning games this season, tied with the Angels for most in MLB -- they are 1-2 in games beyond regulation.

Arizona dropped three of four to the Dodgers in its home-opening series and is averaging 2.7 runs per game this season, second worst in MLB (Cleveland, 2.55). The Diamondbacks' 27 runs is their fewest through 10 games since scoring 25 in the first 10 games of their 1998 inaugural season.

Jose Altuve has slashed .358/.414/.537 in 32 career games against the Diamondbacks, including a career .392 average at Chase Field. His .358 average against the D-Backs ranks sixth all-time among players with at least 100 career plate appearances vs. Arizona.

Christian Walker has a hit in eight of his nine games this season, including three doubles in his last four games. He slashed .194/.351/.274 in 18 interleague games last season and his .274 slugging was fifth-lowest in the NL (min. 50 plate appearances).

Astros rookies have played a combined 40 games this season, third most in MLB. The newbies have been especially present on the mound, combining for 38.1 innings pitched this season -- only the Royals (39.0) have gotten more innings from their first-years.

Less than two weeks into the season, it has become clear that teams in need of a win to rebuild some momentum have found the Arizona Diamondbacks and Chase Field a welcome place to do so.
Last week, the Los Angeles Dodgers came to Phoenix and took three of four games against Arizona, improving from 4-2 to 7-3. Then Tuesday, the Houston Astros, with injuries to their rotation and a young and inexperienced bullpen, got big hits from struggling batters and started their series in Arizona with an 8-2 win.

D-backs search for answers as Astros find some

PHOENIX (AP)  Kole Calhoun hit his first career inside-the-park homer with the help of a crazy bounce, David Peralta had four RBIs and the Arizona Diamondbacks used a nine-run burst in the fourth inning to beat the Houston Astros 14-7 on Wednesday night.
The Diamondbacks broke out of their extended early-season slump by sending 14 batters to the plate in the fourth, turning a 4-0 deficit into a 9-4 lead. The offensive avalanche included four singles, three doubles, one triple, one walk, a hit by pitch and a strange inside-the-park homer that started the scoring.
