Rays clinch wild-card spot with win over Astros

Yandy Diaz finished 3-for-4 with a walk and delivered a game-breaking two-run double in the sixth inning that carried the visiting Tampa Bay Rays to a 7-3 victory over the Houston Astros on Friday and a club-record fourth consecutive postseason berth.

Diaz capped the Rays' three-run sixth with his double to center field off Astros left-hander Framber Valdez (16-6), driving home Jose Siri and Taylor Walls for a 6-2 lead.
