Crowned AL West Division Champions After Blanking Rays™, 4-0

After last night's 4-0 blanking of the Tampa Bay Rays, the Houston Astros have clinched their fifth American League West Division title in six years. This amazing feat required contributions from Astros veterans and new faces alike, including rookie shortstop Jeremy Peña, and recent acquisition Trey Mancini. In last night's game, Astros centerpieces Alex Bregman and Jose Altuve contributed significantly, with the former notching two RBI, and the latter belting his 25th home run of his 2022 Major League Baseball campaign.
