The Mariners day off yesterday was helpful for the Astros after they dropped their first game against the Padres, seeing as it kept them four games back of the AL West. All around, the American League playoff race is getting tighter and tighter as the season keeps winding down day by day.
Let’s see what happened around the league on Pennant Race Roundup.
Houston Astros (81-69): 1, San Diego Padres (86-65): 3
A pitching matchup till the end, Houston’s offense was shut down the whole game and it led to the loss.
