Justin Bour homered in four consecutive games as June turned into July, and the Miami Marlins’ first baseman has rediscovered his power stroke as August has turned into September.

Seattle at Houston 8:10 PM ET
The Houston Astros are leading the pack in the American League West by three games over Texas in large part due to a pitching staff that has been among the best in the AL since the All-Star break.
