For a team that's spent most of the season atop the American League standings and recently ran off seven straight wins, the Houston Astros suddenly look a little vulnerable. The Astros' magic number for winning the AL West dropped to seven when the Angels lost in Seattle. Houston lost the first game 11-1 when Astros pitchers forced in five runs with bases-loaded walks and the team tied a franchise record with 13 free passes. The Astros' bullpen gave up nine runs overall and spoiled a mostly strong outing by starter Brad Peacock, who struck out nine. Reymin Guduan forced in three more while allowing five straight walks on 28 pitches in the eighth.
