Coming off a series-opening 5-1 win against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday, the Houston Astros will try to make it two in a row Tuesday night.
If the Astros were to win their second game in a row, it would be only the second time they've won consecutive games since the All-Star break. The other instance was a series of back-to-back wins against the Milwaukee Brewers on Aug. 10 and 11.
The Astros have only won at least two games in a row eight times this season.
Here are the lineups.
For the Astros:
1. 2B Jose Altuve (R)
2. SS Tyler Greene (R)
3. 1B Brett Wallace (L)
4. CF Justin Maxwell (R)
5. C Jason Castro (L)
6. RF Matt Downs (R)
7. LF Jimmy Paredes (S)
8. 3B Brandon Laird (R)
9. P Jordan Lyles (R)
For the Pirates:
1. 2B Brock Holt (L)
2. RF Travis Snider (L)

6. C Michael McKenry (R)
7. LF Alex Presley (L)
8. SS Clint Barmes (R)
9. P Wandy Rodriguez (R)
Rodriguez will face his old team for the second time. His first appearance for the Pirates on July 28 was against Houston. His line that day: Six innings, six hits, three runs (all earned), five strikeouts and five walks. The Pirates won, 4-3.
First pitch at PNC Park in Pittsburgh is at 6:05 p.m. CT.
