Astros: Right-hander Shane Reynolds was sent home with gastroenteritis, an inflamed stomach condition. He'll miss his regular start today.

Devil Rays: Cleanup hitter Fred McGriff has one homer in his past 46 games. Florida became the seventh state to be host to an intrastate regular-season game, joining New York, Pennsylvania, California, Missouri, Ohio and Illinois. Texas has two major-league teams, but the Rangers and Astros have never faced each other in a regular-season game.
