Uncle Charlie will make his first trip back to Houston off a more abbreviated outing, but one that came after two 10-strikeout games. The American League Cy Young Award candidate, whose career seemed to turn around in Houston, is on pace to set career bests in most categories.

16-5, 2.69 ERA, 243 SO
