 The Diamondbacks took two of three games from the Astros in Arizona from Aug. 4-6 but have not won a season series against Houston since 2012, the Astros' final season in the National League. The Diamondbacks are 4-8 at Minute Maid Park since Houston moved to the AL in 2013.

 Houston ranks second in the majors with a 2.84 ERA at home and allowed one run in all three games of its just-completed series with Texas. The franchise record for consecutive games allowing one run or fewer in the same season is four, most recently accomplished from May 9-13, 2018.

 Arizona enters the series having won two of three against the Angels in Anaheim and scored nine runs in both victories. The Diamondbacks are averaging 7.5 runs per game in road wins and 2.3 per game in road losses, and they lead the majors with 13 away games in which they've scored two runs or fewer.

 With his home run in Tuesday's game against Texas, George Springer became the first Astros player with seven consecutive seasons of 10 homers or more since Lance Berkman (11) from 2000-10. Springer's .413 career average against Arizona is the highest of any player with at least 100 plate appearances against the Diamondbacks.

 David Peralta went 6-for-12 in Arizona's series with the Angels and has homered in three of his last four road games. Peralta's .406 career average (13-for-34) at Minute Maid Park is his highest at any stadium (min. 25 PA).

 Zack Greinke, set to face the Diamondbacks in Friday's opener for the first time since being traded to Houston by Arizona in July 2019, is 8-0 with a 3.35 ERA over his last 13 home starts dating back to last season.

HP - Muchlinski, 1B - Hudson, 2B - Hamari, 3B - Knight

Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker was quick to acknowledge the rarity of his team's victory on Thursday, a triumph in which an early two-run home run proved sufficient in defeating the Texas Rangers.
Houston (25-25) claimed a series victory over the Rangers with a 2-1 win in the rubber match of a three-game series. The Astros extended their lead over the Seattle Mariners to three games in the chase for second place in the American League West and the automatic postseason berth that comes with it. They did so despite scoring just six runs in the three-game series, with a two-run, second-inning blast from Kyle Tucker muting the stench of a shutout loss Wednesday.

Astros hoping to revive offense against D-backs

HOUSTON (AP)  Kole Calhoun hit two home runs to lead the Arizona Diamondbacks over former teammate Zack Greinke and the Houston Astros 6-3 on Friday night.
Calhoun connected on Greinke's fastball in the fourth inning for an upper-deck shot to right. The three-run homer put Arizona ahead 3-2.
