We have a four-game series on the road against the Houston Astros, starting today at Minute Maid Park, a neutral site with a capacity of 42060 fans. With their record at 69 wins and 64 losses, the Astros have a winning percentage of .519. They are in second place in the West Division, 4.0 games behind the leader. Their total runs scored are 557, tying for 12th in the American League, and their batting average is .245, ranking 10th. Defensively, they have given up 580 runs (6th), with their starters posting an ERA of 4.24, which ranks 5th. Their bullpen has an ERA of 4.02, ranking 10th. When playing against our Royals this season, they have a record of 0 wins and 3 losses.

Here are the projected pitching matchups:
RHP A. Marsh (2-2, 4.26 ERA) vs LHP F. Valdez (12-10, 3.84 ERA)
RHP Z. Eflin (8-9, 4.49 ERA) vs RHP J. France (3-1, 2.81 ERA)
RHP B. Singer (5-5, 4.11 ERA) vs RHP C. Javier (7-15, 5.33 ERA)
LHP A. Veneziano (2-2, 3.86 ERA) vs RHP R. Blanco (4-4, 4.40 ERA)

The top 5 players on their team are:
1. LF Yordan Alvarez (Age: 27, Overall: 70, Potential: 75)
2. SP Framber Valdez (30, 70, 70)
3. CL Josh Hader (30, 60, 60)
4. 2B Jose Altuve (34, 55, 55)
5. C Yainer Diaz (25, 55, 55)

We have released Hernandez since he was not claimed off waivers. At this point in the season, his payout is only about $175,000, so we can start planning for next year.

Framber Valdez brought his best to help Houston beat the Kansas City Royals, 6-1. Houston improved to 70-64 with the win. Valdez allowed 3 hits over 9 innings for the Astros. With the win, Valdez moves to 13-10 on the season with 196 strikeouts. Framber attacked the strike zone and threw good pitches when it mattered.
We got some good innings from Marsh, but again, just couldn't get over the hump with the offense, especially against a guy like Framber Valdez. He was in the zone tonight.
