Verlander leads Astros over D-backs 1-0, and both teams clinch postseason spots

The Arizona Diamondbacks celebrated their return to the postseason with the typical party, a champagne-soaked fun fest in the clubhouse that eventually included a dip in the Chase Field swimming pool behind the right-center field wall. The Houston Astros celebrated their return to the postseason by doing — well, not much of anything. Justin Verlander threw five innings, José Abreu hit a run-scoring double and the Astros beat the Diamondbacks 1-0 as both teams clinched spots in the upcoming playoffs.
