HOUSTON -- Houstons struggles against Texas might cost the Astros a playoff spot.Ken Giles allowed two runs in the ninth inning of the Astros 3-2 loss to the Rangers on Tuesday night. Giles had converted nine consecutive save opportunities.Houston (75-70) has won just three times in 18 games against Texas this year. It is 4 1/2 games back of Toronto and Baltimore for the top spot in the wild-card standings.Ive seen and been in some tough ones, Houston manager A.J. Hinch said. This ones pretty hard. We had every chance to win the game and obviously strange things happen when we play these guys.Giles trouble started when Rougned Odor reached on a wild pitch after striking out with one out. He swiped second and scored on Elvis Andrus two-out triple. Jurickson Profar followed with a tiebreaking RBI single.Things didnt go our way, go my way, Giles said. Its my responsibility to shut the guys down. I didnt do my job today. I take full responsibility for that. I didnt make the pitches when I needed to so Im just going to take the good from the bad and just bounce back for the guys next time.It was the first blown save for Giles (2-4) since June 18 against Cincinnati. Alex Claudio (4-1) pitched the eighth for the win, and Tanner Scheppers worked a perfect ninth for his first save.These guys play complete games across the way and we havent been able to solve them, Hinch said.Jose Altuve homered in the fourth and Jason Castro connected in the sixth, sending a drive to the upper deck in right field to give the Astros a 2-1 lead.Adrian Beltre led off the second with his 30th homer for AL West-leading Texas (87-59). Beltre fell to a knee after swinging, but his towering shot traveled all the way to the Crawford Boxes in left.Houston right-hander Brad Peacock allowed three hits in six innings. He retired his last 10 batters.Texas right-hander A.J. Griffin also pitched well, striking out seven in a season-long seven innings. Griffin has allowed 26 homers this season and seven over his three September starts.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: LHP Dallas Keuchel, who hasnt pitched since Aug. 27 because of inflammation in his left shoulder, probably will not throw Wednesday, Hinch said. We are going to go day to day and see if we can increase any type of activity, but his target date is a little gray area than anything else, Hinch said.WATCH YOUR STEPOn Evan Gattis towering popup in the fifth, Andrus came in from shortstop and walked up the back of the pitchers mound. As he made the catch, Andrus appeared to trip on the top of the mound and fell, but hung on to the ball.Altuve also lost his footing during the game, but his fall did not have a good result. Altuve hit an infield single off third base in the sixth that was fielded by Andrus. Altuve made a wide turn around first and slipped in the dirt about 15 feet past first. Andrus double-pumped and then fired to first as Altuve had issues getting his footing back and was tagged out.UP NEXTRangers: LHP Derek Holland (7-7) will start Wednesday instead of RHP Yu Darvish, manager Jeff Banister said following Tuesdays game. Darvish will move behind LHP Cole Hamels in the rotation and start Saturday.Astros: RP Joe Musgrove (2-4) will take the mound Wednesday night for the Astros looking to repeat the success he had in his last start Friday against the Cubs when he allowed two runs in six innings. http://www.49ersrookiestore.com/49ers-Laken-Tomlinson-Jersey/ .

The Race to Dubai has reached the final event of the season and four golfers are still in contention to become the European Tours top player.Three of them -- Henrik Stenson, Danny Willett and Rory McIlroy -- have won majors. The other, Alex Noren, is in major-winning form after earning four victories since July.Stenson, the British Open champion, leads the Race to Dubai standings by almost 300,000 points over Willett, the Masters champion, and 600,000 over Noren.Should he win the DP World Tour Championship, which starts Thursday, he will be Europes No. 1 for the second time in four years. He could even finish atop the standings with a top-eight finish, provided Willett doesnt win or finish second and Noren doesnt win.McIlroy has dropped to fourth place after missing the Turkish Airlines Open and last weeks Nedbank Challenge in South Africa, leaving him with an outside chance of winning his fourth Race to Dubai title and his third in three years.The four-time major winner must win and needs Stenson to finish outside the top 45, Willett to place outside the top five and Noren to fall past the top two.Noren could be the one to watch.Ranked No. 704 in January 2015, the Swede woke up Monday as the No. 9 player after winning the Scottish Open, Omega European Masters, the British Masters and the Nedbank Challenge in the space of four months.Its a reemarkable rise that he attributes to being happier following the birth of his first child early this year and spending more time in practice hitting shots on the course rather than at a range.ddddddddddddObviously, its been the season of my life, Noren said.Ive got a lot more confidence having the lead and being up (there), its obviously more comfortable.Stenson played alongside Noren during the final round on Sunday and saw him overturn a six-shot deficit to win by six strokes.Hes definitely in there in the mix for the last week, Stenson said. With Alex playing as well as he does, (it) just motivates me even more to bring my game next week and then try and be up there.Willett has just one top-10 finish on either side of the Atlantic since June and has dropped out of the top 10 in the rankings.A 67-69 finish at the Nedbank has boosted his confidence going into the World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates, where he finished fourth last year.The golf course, it doesnt necessarily suit my game, Willett said. Im not massive off the tee and I cant take out all the bunkers, but it does reward really good mid-iron play.Things were working on, everything feels better, a little bit more happy going into next week.
