Hunter Brown Slated to Start for Astros Against Athletics

Houston Astros right-hander Hunter Brown (6-3, 3.26 ERA) takes the mound against the Athletics in West Sacramento. Brown has posted a 5-2 record and 2.76 ERA in his last 11 starts, pitching through the 5th inning in all of them. He missed over two months earlier this season with a right shoulder strain. The Astros are locked in a tight AL West race with the Rangers as the regular season reaches its final stretch.
