This is the first of two series between the two clubs this season. They’ll play another three-game set back at Minute Maid Park from July 31 through August 2. The last time these two met was from August 4 through 7 last season, when the two split a four-gamer. In the finale, Triston McKenzie kept the Astros scoreless on two hits and a walk over eight frames, negating a perfectly acceptable quality start from Cristian Javier. Javier surrendered one run over six innings, walking zero and striking out four.
