HOUSTON — Even at this advanced stage of the season http://www.bluejaysfanproshop.com/authentic-robert...una-jer sey , with the Astros having long ago cemented their reputation as a dominant road team, their success away from Minute Maid Park remains stunning.On Wednesday, riding the coattails of third baseman Alex Bregman and his historic performance, the Astros capped another winning road trip with a 5-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers that completed a three-game series sweep. Combined with a series win in Boston last weekend, Houston finished 5-1 on its penultimate road trip of the regular-season schedule.The Astros will open a nine-game homestand, their final one of the season, Friday against the Arizona Diamondbacks with left-hander Dallas Keuchel (11-10, 3.59 ERA) on the mound.Article continues below ...The Astros (92-54) have posted four consecutive winning road trips, producing a .714 winning percentage (20-8) during that stretch.Houston improved to 52-22 on the road with a seven-game trip remaining against the Toronto Blue Jays and the Baltimore Orioles to close the regular season. En route to winning the World Series last year, the Astros finished 53-28 on the road.“Just a great road trip for us,” said Bregman Roberto Alomar Jersey , who reached 100 RBIs and 100 runs this season in the victory and became the first third baseman in league history to post 30 home runs and 50 doubles in a season. “Some tough travel to deal with, but at the end of the day we grinded through it and found a way to win games. That’s what this team is all about.”Keuchel is 3-3 with a 4.00 ERA in six career starts against the Diamondbacks. He did not pitch during the three-game series at Chase Field the first weekend in May, a set the Astros dropped.Of note beyond the starting pitching matchup in the series opener is the recent work turned in by rookie right-hander Josh James, who is vying for a spot on the postseason roster after three impressive performances.James appeared out of the bullpen twice during the road trip, logging 5 2/3 innings while allowing two runs, three hits and one walk with eight strikeouts.James made his big-league debut Sept. 1 during a start against the Los Angeles Angels.“I know he’s fresh since we’re kind of using him in extended periods,” said Astros right-hander Gerrit Cole, who picked up the win Wednesday, of James. “But for a guy that’s been starting for a long time and then to be thrown into the fire in some extremely competitive games in Boston and (Detroit) … it’s a lot of maturity, it’s a lot of composure.”Left-hander Robbie Ray (5-2, 4.18 ERA) will make his 21st start of the season for the Diamondbacks (77-70). He is 1-0 with a 1.46 ERA in two starts this month http://www.bluejaysfanproshop.com/authentic-paul-m...tor-jer sey , totaling 16 strikeouts in 12 1/3 innings. Ray is 1-1 with a 4.58 ERA in four starts against Houston.The Diamondbacks continued their recent tailspin with a 10-3 loss at the Colorado Rockies on Thursday, falling to 3-9 in September.Arizona was alone in first place in the National League West on Aug. 31 but dropped the final three contests of a four-game set against the Los Angeles Dodgers. They fell into third place at the close of that series Sept. 2 and, after spending 110 days in first, are a season-high 4 1/2 games behind the Rockies with the loss. Mitchell Layton/Getty ImagesThe Chicago Cubs are reportedly interested in acquiring Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.According to Patrick Mooney of The Athletic, the Cubs and Orioles are "deeply involved" in talks surrounding Britton.ESPN's Jerry Crasnick reported Friday that the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Giants, Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies have interest in Britton as well.The 30-year-old lefty is 1-0 with a 3.68 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and four saves in five opportunities this season.Britton has appeared in just 15 games since an Achilles injury forced him to begin 2018 on the disabled list.The two-time All-Star has shown in recent years that he is among the best relievers in baseball when healthy, however.Between the 2016 and 2017 seasons, Britton successfully converted 60 straight save opportunities Roger Clemens Jersey , which is an American League record.In 2014 he had a 1.65 ERA with 37 saves, followed by a 1.92 ERA and 36 saves in 2015, and then a 0.54 ERA and 47 saves in 2016.That 2016 performance was good enough to earn him fourth place in the AL Cy Young voting and win him the Mariano Rivera American League Reliever of the Year award.He hasn't been quite as lights-out over the past two seasons, but injuries likely have plenty to do with that fact.Last season, Britton was still solid with a 2.89 ERA and 15 saves in 38 appearances.With current closer Brandon Morrow on the DL with biceps inflammation, the Cubs are in need of some help at the back end of their bullpen.Veteran Steve Cishek has filled in admirably at closer, while Pedro Strop and Justin Wilson are enjoying solid years as well.Britton is elite when he is at the top of his game, though, and adding him could give the Cubs a big leg up in the wide-open NL.The Cubs currently have the best record in the National League at 57-39, and Britton would give them some late-game stability down the stretch and potentially heading into the playoffs.
