Hunter Brown of the Houston Astros is set to start against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday, boasting an impressive 1.16 ERA this season. His counterpart, Kris Bubic, holds a strong 1.45 ERA as well. The Astros find themselves in a tough spot, having been shut out in the first two games of the series, and they’ll be aiming to avoid a sweep in front of home fans at Kauffman Stadium.

The lineups feature notable players such as Yordan Alvarez and Jeremy Peña for Houston, while Kansas City counters with Bobby Witt Jr. and Salvador Pérez. Astros fans are particularly concerned about Alvarez’s recent slump, as he struggles to find his rhythm at the plate. With two promising pitchers on the mound, this matchup is likely to be a tightly contested affair.
