Tony Kemp leading off for Astros on Monday

Houston Astros infielder/outfielder Tony Kemp will lead off against the San Francisco Giants on Monday night.

What It Means:

Kemp hit eighth yesterday against the Dodgers. His solo home run in the fifth inning brought the Astros to within a run, but they would fail to tack on any more in a 3-2 loss to Los Angeles. Kemp should see more regular playing time going forward with George Springer on the shelf.
