BALTIMORE -- The Astros saw enough positive signs out of shortstop Carlos Correa in Saturday's Game 1 win over the Orioles that he wasn't in the lineup for Sunday's regular-season finale. Correa, who's been dealing with a sore back for months, doubled and homered on Saturday, both to the opposite field.
Correa, the American League's starting shortstop in the All-Star Game last year, hit .239 this year with 15 homers and 65 RBIs in 402 at-bats, including .180 (24-for-133) with two homers and 16 RBIs in 37 games after being activated from the disabled list on Aug.
