Cristian Javier to Start for First-Place Astros vs. Angels

RHP Cristian Javier (1-3) will start for the first-place Houston Astros in tonight's series opener against the Angels at Daikin Park. Javier, who holds a 2.0-game lead in the AL West, previously shut out the Angels over 5.0 innings of stellar relief last month. He looks to continue that success as the Astros open their three-game series.
