Astros win woeful AL West division on final day of MLB regular season after Rangers loss

The Houston Astros secured the American League West crown on the final day of the regular campaign after the Texas Rangers dropped a six-to-two decision to the Minnesota Twins. Both squads entered the concluding slate holding matching records of eighty wins and eighty-one losses, but Houston held the decisive tiebreaker advantage following a nine-to-four head-to-head advantage over their rivals.

With this outcome, the club becomes the initial franchise in league history to capture a division title while finishing the season at or below the five-hundred mark. The postseason berth arrives despite a tumultuous year that included the dismissal of general manager Dana Brown during the month of August.
