The defending World Series champion Houston Astros are once again AL West champions.
Tuesday night, the Astros clinched their second straight AL West title thanks to their win over the Blue Jays (HOU 4, TOR 1) and the Mariners' walk-off win over the Athletics (SEA 10, OAK 8). The A's have been baseball's hottest team for a good three months now and at one point pulled even with the 'Stros in the AL West, but alas, they couldn't claim the division crown.
Mariners utility man Chris Herrmann swatted a walk-off home run against the A's to clinch the AL West title for the Astros on Tuesday.
