The Astros are hoping an Independence Day matinee brings them freedom from an eight-game losing streak, their worst of the 2012 season. Dallas Keuchel has been strong in his short time with Houston, with a 1.35 ERA in 20 innings of work that includes a one-hit shutout.
Houston will have to create run support if they've got a hope of winning. In their first four games against Pittsburgh this season, the Astros scored a total of six runs before putting up seven in a single game during Tuesday's loss.
