Overview

• After Houston’s 4-3 loss to the Angels, Cleveland’s magic number fell to one; a victory over Texas or another Astros defeat would secure at least a wild-card berth tonight.
• The Guardians and Tigers are tied atop the AL Central, with Cleveland able to claim the division with any combination of two Cleveland wins or Detroit losses over the final two games.
• Texas took Friday’s opener 7-3 on Alejandro Osuna’s three-run first-inning homer as Jack Leiter struck out 10 over seven innings.
• Left-hander Joey Cantillo starts Saturday against opener Jacob Latz, and manager Stephen Vogt said John Means could take Sunday’s game if a berth is clinched.
• Reliever Sam Hentges had right-knee meniscus surgery and is out three to four months, and Jose Ramirez recently set the franchise record with 726 extra-base hits.
