Houston at Cincinnati

A tough road stretch for Houston, playing its sixth straight road game here and 13 of its last 16 have been away from home. Houston has lost 9 of the last 13 while getting shut out twice and scoring 1 run two other times. They looked like a road weary bunch yesterday getting shut out 6-0 on six hits. Astros manager Brad Mills doesn't expect 1B Carlos Lee to be available until at least Monday. Lee sprained his left ankle Friday. The Astros are 17-41 in their last 58 road games vs. a right-handed starter and face a good one in newcomer Mat Latos, who is 3-1 with a 2.30 ERA against Houston. Meanwhile the Astros are 2-12 in Jordan Lyles' last 14 starts, who just got called up from the minors. The Reds are on a 10-day, nine-game homestand and 17-7 in their last 24 games as a home favorite. The Astros are 6-18 in the last 24 meetings in Cincinnati. Play the Reds.
