The Astros reached 100 wins for the second straight season and closed in on another AL West title, beating the Toronto Blue Jays 4-1 Tuesday night behind Alex Bregman's two-run homer.
Houston improved to 100-57 and would clinch the division with one more win or a loss by second-place Oakland (95-62), which played later at Seattle. The Astros are 18-4 in September and 54-22 on the road, both best in the major leagues.
"We really haven't played our best baseball until lately," Bregman said. "That's a good sign heading into the postseason. I think we're in a good spot right now.
