THIS DATE IN ASTROS HISTORY - april 131964 - The Colt .45s win the league’s season opener in Cincinnati, defeating the Reds, 6-3, with President Lyndon Baines Johnson, a graduate of what is now Texas State Univer-sity, in attendance...RHP Ken Johnson, still grieving over the death of roommate Jim Um-bricht, hurls a 2-hit shutout...Jimmy Wynn hits a two-run homer in the victory.

tonight’S GAME: The defending World Series Champion Houston Astros will host their in-state division rivals, the Texas Rangers, for three games, beginning tonight at Minute Maid Park...RHP Gerrit Cole (1-0) will get the start for Houston tonight, opposite LHP Cole Hamels (1-2) and the Rangers.

the cole train: RHP Gerrit Cole has posted a 0.64 ERA (1ER/14IP) with 22 strikeouts in his two starts with the Astros...by doing so, Cole has:

• become the first pitcher in Astros history to post 11+ strikeouts in his first two starts with the club.

• set a franchise record with 22 combined strikeouts thru a players first two starts, besting the previous record of 20, reached by Turk Farrell (1962), Tom Griffin (1969), J.R. Richard (1971) and Randy Johnson (1998).

• become the first pitcher to record 11+ strikeouts in consecutive games since RHP Wade Miller did so in his first two starts of the 2001 season.

• recorded two double-digit strikeout games this season and eight for his career...with two 11-strikeout games, Cole has fallen just one strikeout shy of his career high in consecutive outings.

• amassed a scoreless inning streak of 13.0 innings, which ranks as the fourth-longest in the Majors this season.

pitching in: The Astros have posted an American League-best 2.57 ERA in 13 games (33ER/115.2IP)...their starters have combined to post a 2.81 ERA (23ER/73.2IP), which is third in the AL

Hot start: At 9-4, the 2018 Astros have tied their best 13-game start in franchise history, also reached seven previous times, including last season...the Astros can match their best 14-game start in club history with a win tonight, which would give them a 10-4 record, also reached six previous seasons, most recently in 2006.

the lone star series: This series is the second of six between the Astros and Rangers as the two clubs vie for the coveted Silver Boot...Houston leads the season series 3-1 and is looking to win outright consecutive season series over the Rangers for the first time since the 2002 and 2003 seasons.

about sunday: The Astros dropped the rubber game of their three-game series in Minnesota on Sunday by a score of 9-8 on a walkoff homer by Twins RF Max Kepler...trailing 8-1 thru 4 innings, the Astros managed to tie it up in the 9th, but were unable to complete the comeback...3B Alex Bregman had a career day, going 4x6 with a double, a homer and two runs scored.

it’s been awhile: The Astros have lost consecutive regular season games for the first time since losing four straight from Sept. 8-10, 2017...since those dates, Houston has gone 24-8, which included nine straight series victories.
