The Astros won what should have been a blowout, but Alberto Arias and Fernando Nieve came into the 9th and gave up five runs to make it 8-6 Astros with only 1 out. Fortunately, Coop had Valverde ready to go, and Papa Grande got two Ks (but gave up a single) and the save.
Unfortunately, the Brewers and Mets both won last night, so the WC remains tied, and the Astros' elimination number has decreased to 1. Barring another miracle, this one is over. We would need botht the Brewers and Mets to lose their next three games, while the Astros would need to win the next three, force the 9/29 game with the Cubs, and win that. Then, all three would have to play a tiebreaker of some sort. Stranger things have happened.
