Manaea masterful but A's fall short in 10th

In a game in which Jose Altuve collected his 200th hit of the season, the Astros moved to within two games of the Orioles for the second spot in the American League Wild Card race with 11 games remaining, staying one-half game behind the Tigers. Relief pitcher Chris Devenski got the win in relief with 3 2/3 perfect innings, and Ken Giles locked down another save.
