August 16 - The Houston Astros will try to slow down Jorge Soler on Wednesday night when they face the host Miami Marlins in the rubber match of a three-game series.

So I think he's more of a complete hitter than just a power hitter, and it's been great to watch." The Marlins are 15-9 this year when Luzardo starts, though he has lost his past two outings.
