Jeremy Peña went 3 for 3 with a walk and scored twice, Jose Altuve drove in two runs and the Houston Astros held on for a 6-5 victory over the Texas Rangers.

With the division race beginning to tighten and wrapping up their interdivision rivalry series yesterday, the Astros broke out the brooms here at Daikin as they went on to take all three games from the Texas Rangers following yesterday's final score of 5-2.

With the Silver Boot on the line, the Astros did what they have done for the past nine seasons now and showed out, completing the three-game sweep of the Texas Rangers with a 5-2 win on Wednesday.

Over his last seven games played before the Wednesday night matchup, he did not hit a home run or an RBI in that span. The Astros had a 2-5 record in that span. With Houston playing another game against Toronto on Wednesday night, did Altuve play in the game for the Astros or no?

Ozzie Albies drove in three runs with two hits, including a go-ahead, two-run single in the fifth, Sandy León homered and also drove in three runs in his first start in more than two years and the Atlanta Braves beat the Houston Astros 8-3.

Tonight, they have a chance to get back into the win column and expand their playoff lead against Jack Leiter (9-8, 3.76 ERA, 131 SO) and the Rangers in the first game of a critical three game series at Daikin Park.
