The Astros magic number fell to 1 after they barely squeaked out a win against the Angels. This, despite a pitching matchup between Zack Grienke and Jaime Barria. Sure, Grienke walked a way win a win - but just barely, after giving up all 4 of the Angels runs across 5 innings of work.
Aside from Jaime Barria, the lock-down Angels bullpen didn’t allowed a single run.
Kevan Smith and Andrelton Simmons both drove in a pair of runs and the Angels with 3 for 5 with runners in scoring position
Not a bad line against a team that is about to clinch the AL West title.
