Defending champion Astros clinch playoff berth
Yuli Gurriel logged a career-high seven RBIs with a grand slam, a two-run homer and a single in his first three at-bats, while Gerrit Cole racked up 12 strikeouts in a strong start to help the Astros clinch their third postseason berth in four seasons. Angels starter Andrew Heaney gave up the homers to Gurriel and went just three innings, while Mike Trout clubbed his 37th homer for the Halos.
