The Astros are currently defending a 1.5 game lead in the AL West over the Oakland A’s, and have won 3 of their last 4 games. The Angels however have lost six of their last seven, but welcome Mike Trout back into the lineup tonight after recovering from a wrist injury. However the Angels will be without the services of Justin Upton, who was put on the disabled list Tuesday. George Springer of the Astros will miss his third straight game tonight with a quad injury.

Dallas Keuchel, LHP (9-10, 3.59 ERA) faces Andrew Heaney, LHP (7-7, 4.11 ERA).
