The Astros game Friday starts 30 minutes earlier than ours. We could have the division clinched before our game is over Friday night.

Congratulations to Dane Dunning on a great regular season!!!

We can see from his example that just because a pitcher does very well in the pen, that doesn't mean he can't contribute even more in the rotation.

I look forward to next year, when given his age and amount of experience, he could very well improve some more. At some point next season the talk may be about when they are going to lock him up long term.

From Evan Grant:

The team that invested $250 million on starting pitching upgrades over the winter arrived at this point on Wednesday behind seven shutout innings from the guy effectively dropped from the rotation before the spring training ever started: Dane Dunning. Dunning, who stepped into the rotation in May after a sharp month in the bullpen, won his 12th game, tying Nathan Eovaldi for the staff lead. Eovaldi has a chance to win No. 13 this weekend in Seattle, but nobody will catch Dunning in innings pitched. He will lead the staff with 169.1.

More from Evan Grant:

More irony: Jose Leclerc, dumped as closer a month into the season, pitched the ninth. He didn’t get a save because the Rangers scored three runs in the top of the inning behind homers from Evan Carter and Marcus Semien. But Leclerc is proving that what goes around, comes around. He is emerging as the guy most likely to be asked to save a postseason game.
