Episode Details

The Astros, leading the AL West by a game and a half after a seven-game winning streak, head to San Diego for a pivotal three-game series against the Padres, who are fighting for a wild-card spot. Houston’s offense is heating up in the second half, while San Diego’s lineup has been elite since the All-Star break. Friday’s pitching duel pits recovering Astros ace Ronel Blanco against former Cy Young winner Robbie Ray. Saturday sees Peter Lambert take on Michael King, and Sunday’s starter remains TBD — though the Padres may turn to Randy Vásquez again. Both teams are managing injuries, with Astros’ Carlos Correa and Brice Matthews nearing returns, and Padres’ Joe Musgrove preparing for his next rehab start.
