Diamondbacks fail to secure Wild Card spot in loss to Astros

With a chance to punch their postseason ticket, the Arizona Diamondbacks had another quiet offensive night, resulting in a 2-1 loss to the Houston Astros.

Now, with the Marlins and Reds winning, the Diamondbacks hold a slim.5 game lead for the 2nd wild card spot.

Zac Gallen held the game to 0-0 up until the 6th inning, then Jose Abreu smashed a 430-foot double off the yellow line in centerfield to give the Astros a 2-0 lead.
