A pair of teams that need to turn things around will do battle in the City by the Bay, as the Astros open a two-game interleague set on Tuesday night.

Astros

Houston arrives in San Francisco as losers of six of their last seven, including a 5-4 lost to Oakland on Sunday. They do however; maintain their lead atop the AL West, one game ahead of the Angels.

The Astros offense has cooled considerably since the beginning of the season. The team’s most productive hitter, Jose Altuve was 7-for-17 in the four-game series against the A’s, Carlos Gomez has fallen into a slump as well, and is 2-for-19 in the last five games.

In order to turn things around, the Astros will send left-hander Scott Kazmir (6-6, 2.08 ERA) to the mound Tuesday. Kazmir recorded his first loss with Houston last time out, giving up four runs scattered over 5 2/3 innings at Texas. He beat the Giants in in his only meeting last year with seven scoreless innings.
