The 2012 Houston Astros‘ interleague schedule begins in May with a three-game series against the Texas Rangers. That encounter will take place in Houston from May 18-20.

In total, the Astros have 15 interleague games this year, including six that come against the Rangers. The rest are played against the American League Central, possibly making the team very familiar with some AL teams before jumping to the AL West in the 2013 season.
