Angels, Astros set for doubleheader to speed up series

It will be a busy Tuesday for the Los Angeles Angels and Houston Astros, due to a weather precaution that prompted the teams to schedule a doubleheader.

Because Tropical Storm Laura has the potential to turn into a hurricane when it is forecast to make landfall on the Gulf Coast, either late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning, Major League Baseball elected to have the teams play two seven-inning games Tuesday. There is no longer a game scheduled for Houston on Thursday.

In addition, the Wednesday contest, which is now the finale of the four-game series, was moved from the nighttime to the daytime.
