Houston Astros (15-13 .536 5 GB in 3rd place in the PCL East) at

HOU: Bill Reynolds (27-R 3-3 2.86) vs. POR: Bobby Johnson (24-R 3-3 3.32)

Reynolds is their #1 starter. He leads the PCL in strikeouts with 41. He has only allowed 2 total runs in his last 2 starts (17 IP). We have never faced him before.

Johnson is our #1 starter, but he has the worst ERA and the fewest wins of any of our top 4. He is walking 4.7 batters per 9 innings so far this year, more than double his career rate of 2.1 coming into this season. He lost last time out, but went 7.1 IP and gave up 5 hits and 3 walks and 3 runs.
