Game Preview
All the signs pointed toward the Houston Astros completing their climb to the top of the American League West standings, with both Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez returning from injury Wednesday and ace Framber Valdez starting the finale of a three-game set with the Texas Rangers.
But instead of completing a sweep of the Rangers and drawing even with Texas atop the division, the Astros absorbed a 13-5 loss on Wednesday that knocked them two games back, with the Tampa Bay Rays set to visit Houston for a three-game weekend series starting Friday.
"It’s disappointing, yeah," Astros manager Dusty Baker said. "(But) you always want to win series. Imagine if they had come in here and beat us two out of three or swept us.
