This is the second straight road game for Arizona on a long trip, a team with a losing road mark. They got bombed last night in Houston, striking out 13 times in a 9-5 defeat -- the second straight game the pitching staff has given up nine runs. Arizona goes with lefty Patrick Corbin, who is 2-8 on the road where batters hit .333 off him (6.79 ERA)! The Diamondbacks are 18-41 in interleague road games against a team with a winning record. The Astros are tops in baseball in runs scored, on-base percentage and slugging. Six Houston batters had two or more hits in yesterday's rout. The Astros are 37-15 in interleague games, plus 20-6 when Mike Fiers gets four days of rest. And the Diamondbacks are 3-8 in the last 11 meetings. Play Houston.
