Things to know about this game
• Astros second baseman Jose Altuve is hitting .500 (9-for-18) with one homer and four RBIs in his career vs. Greinke.

• Arizona first baseman Paul Goldschmidt had hit safely in nine of his last 10 games entering Monday, with six homers in that span. The hot streak all started with his three-homer game at Wrigley Field on Aug. 3.

• All-Star outfielder George Springer sat out Sunday's game in Arlington after playing in four consecutive games since coming off the disabled list (quad injury). He's expected to return to the lineup Monday against the D-backs

Preview: D-backs vs. Astros, 6 p.m., FOX Sports Arizona
David LumiaFOX Sports Arizona Aug 14, 2017 at 4:57p ET
This is the first of four interleague games between the D-backs and Astros -- two each in Phoenix and Houston. Both teams are working through a rough patch, though the Astors have a much larger margin for error, given their 12-game lead in the AL West.

The Diamondbacks (65-52) have lost 6 of their last 8 games and are 2-4 on the current homestand, having dropped 2 of 3 to both the Dodgers and Cubs. They are tied with Colorado for the first of two NL wild-card positions, with streaking St. Louis lurking at 4 ½ back.

Man what a spectacular catch. I thought Martinez was getting 2 forsure, and Descalso would have brought him in.

That's why you cant make errors in the field and helping your pitcher out once in a while is nice too. Note to defense....
