*The Masked Marvel has the recap of last night's 2-1 win over the Angels. The Astros' nine-game winning streak over Anaheim is a franchise record against an AL team, and the longest winning streak over a single team since the 2004-2005 seasons.
*The Royals beat the Rangers, The Mariners beat the Blue Jays. The A's beat the Rays.
*So the Astros are 2.5 back of Southeast Denton, three up on the Grand Marniers. The Red Sox and Blue Jays both lost, so the Astros are 3.
