Houston Astros' Carlos Lee went 3 for 4 with an RBI single Saturday and is hitting .340 over his last 14 games. However, of the Astros’ last 27 hits, none have been for extra bases. Houston Astros have totaled just three runs in the series’ first two games. Owner of baseball’s worst record, Houston has gone 4-14 in July and has an identical record in its last 18 road games. Houston Astros' Jordan Lyles had his longest outing Monday, going 8 1-3 innings and allowing four runs in a 5-2 loss to Washington. He will take another shot at his first victory. The right-hander was deserving of a win when he faced the Cubs in his major league debut May 31, allowing two runs and five hits in seven innings in Houston’s 7-3 victory.
Chicago Cubs haven’t pulled off a series sweep of more than two games at Wrigley since taking three straight versus Cincinnati from July 24-26, 2009. Chi Cubs' Matt Garza didn’t allow a run in Chicago’s 6-3 loss to Florida on July 14, then gave up only one in a 4-2 loss to Philadelphia on Tuesday. The bullpen was tagged for a combined 10 runs after he departed. He arguably has been Chicago’s best pitcher over the last month - aside from a rough outing July 7 at Washington - though he doesn’t have a win to show for it. He looks to lead Chicago to its first three-game sweep at Wrigley Field in two years when it meets the Houston Astros on Sunday. Watch Houston Astros vs Chicago Cubs Game Live TV Channel FSH and WGN.
