Too bad Valdez gets the loss.

Seattle loses so Astros still up 5 with 10 to play.

Magic number now 6.

If it comes to that, I like our chances. Astros have Brown, Valdez and Kikuchi lined up for that  3 game series.

Nice 10-4 slugfest win  Season high 20 hits.  Right now magic number 3 as Rangers losing.

Ort came in and actually got 3 outs in 6th and Ferguson came in 9th and Angles scored a couple with loaded bases and whew finally out.

Blanco had 9Ks

Tucker with his second game in a row with 4 hits including a HR. Alvarez with 4 hits including a HR. Alvarez and Tucker with back-to-back HRs.

Magic number is 3.

Aggie.  It looks like Stros wll make the 87 wins you talked about a couple of months ago.  90 is still in the making.

White Sox have lost 119.  Who would think in today's so-called parity in baseball that that can happen?

Looks like Tucker is back.

Yep. 90 wins is a real possibility but I am going to say they end with 89. After clinching the division in the 3 game series with Seattle, those last 3 games at Cleveland will mean nothing. I see Houston giving some players, including some pitchers, some time off during that series.

Astros get a win today, coupled with a Mariners loss, will put them up 6 with 6 to play. All they would need is one more win.

I predict Houston to clinch by Tuesday.
