The Houston Astros are trying to snap a long losing streak on Sunday when they wrap up a three-game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Lucas Harrell will take the mound for the Astros and will be looking for his eighth win of the season. The Pirates will counter with James McDonald.
All-Star outfielder Andrew McCutchen is not in the starting lineup for Pittsburgh for what appears to be a routine day off.
