The Houston Astros are looking for their fourth win since the All-Star break.
The Houston Astros haven't won two games in a series since June 27. They'll have four chances to get a win this week when they host the Washington Nationals.
The series begins on Monday as Dallas Keuchel (1-4, 5.77 ERA) takes on Edwin Jackson (6-7, 3.57 ERA). Keuchel has allowed at least five runs in his last three starts.
The second game of the series pins Jordan Lyles (2-8, 5.95 ERA) against Ross Detwiler (6-4, 3.02 ERA). While Lyles has struggled all season, he has a 3.99 ERA at home.
Wednesday's game features Armando Galarraga (0-1, 5.23 ERA) against Gio Gonzalez (13-6, 3.44 ERA). Galarraga has yet to win in two starts since being promoted from the minor leagues.
The series finale will feature Lucas Harrell (9-7, 3.98 ERA) and Jordan Zimmerman (8-6, 2.45 ERA). Harrell is the only Astros pitcher with a win since the All-Star break.
The Astros enter the series with a 36-73 record.
