The Houston Astros aim to win the first two games of their three-game series against the Chicago Cubs on the road.

LET’S KEEP IT THIS WAY: The Cubs have not been swept at home by the Astros since May 30-June 1, 2011, when they lost by 12-7, 7-3 and 2-1. This is the just the eighth series between the teams at Wrigley Field since then. In one, 2012, the Cubs lost the first two games, both by 3-0, then won the third, 5-4. (Courtesy BCB’s JohnW53)
