The Houston Astros (5-7) will square off against the Pittsburgh Pirates (7-4) on Wednesday morning in a rubber match to determine the series.

Houston decisively won Monday's matchup while the Pirates won in a walk-off fashion on Tuesday evening. 

The Astros are searching for answers, especially from their pitching staff who has struggled to open the season. A win on a getaway day before returning home to Minute Maid Park would do wonders as the Astros prepare to face the Texas Rangers for a weekend series. 

Jose Urquidy (0-0, 3.86 ERA) will take the mound for Houston and will face the veteran Rich Hill. 

The game can be watched on AT&T SportsNet Southwest or streamed on MLB.tv if you are not in the local Houston market.
