 From 2017 through 2019, the Astros hit 52 home runs in 28 games at RingCentral Coliseum, while no other team hit more than 32 (Seattle).

 The A's have won six in a row. It is their fourth 6+ game winning streak since mid-May of 2019. Oakland has outscored its opponents 34-14 during the stretch despite hitting just .221 as a team. The A's have hit at least one home run in each game, and their relievers have allowed just two runs in 22.0 innings during the streak.

 The Astros have won at least 10 games and taken the season series from the A's in each of the five previous seasons. Since 2017, in meetings at RingCentral Coliseum prior to July 1, the Astros won 16 of 17 against the A's, but in meetings in Oakland on July 1 or later in the season, the A's have won nine of 11.

 Jose Altuve has 169 hits against the A's since entering MLB in 2013, second most by any player versus any opponent, and the only one with more is Altuve himself (Altuve vs. Angels -- 173).

 Matt Olson had an MLB-high six home runs and an MLB-high 17 runs batted in against the Astros in just 14 games of action last season.

 Zack Greinke is 8-2 with a 2.82 ERA in 14 career starts against the A's. In those 14 starts, he has allowed more than three earned runs only once and never allowed more than one home run in any start all while throwing at least 5.0 innings in all 14 starts.

The Oakland Athletics go for a three-game sweep and their ninth straight win in an effort to widen their gap over the visiting Houston Astros when the American League West powers continue their low-scoring series on Sunday afternoon.
A pair of impressive rookies -- Oakland left-hander Jesus Luzardo (0-0, 2.31 ERA) and Houston righty Cristian Javier (1-0, 1.42) -- are the scheduled starters.

Rookies take spotlight in matchup between Astros, A's

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)  The Oakland Athletics and Houston Astros apparently were tired of playing nice.
So following two quiet games at the Coliseum, true feelings seemed to come out and tempers flared Sunday, months after Houston's sign-stealing scandal was brought to light by Oakland pitcher Mike Fiers.
