Houston holds the final wild card by a game over Seattle and moved within one game of Texas atop the AL West with two to play.
The Diamondbacks trailed 2-0 going into the ninth before Alek Thomas reached with one out on an error by second baseman Jose Altuve. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. struck out but Gabriel Moreno followed with an RBI double off the left-center fence that was just shy of a homer.Houston Astros' potential Wild Card, ALDS tickets on sale
The Astros had to start Urquidy after J.P. France was scratched due to a family emergency. Urquidy had been used out of the bullpen over the past month and had a 5.84 ERA coming into Friday, but was fantastic in his first start since Aug. 23. He said he got a message from coaches just before noon, asking if he was ready to take the mound.The D-backs had a great chance to score in the eighth when they put runners on second and third with two outs.
Replays showed the ball hit the yellow line high on the center-field wall, and the call was changed to a double. "Zac was fantastic," Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. "He pitched into the seventh inning. He really gave us a chance to stand in the middle of the ring and duke it out. Unfortunately, their pitcher was doing the same."
