HOUSTON (AP) — Reliever Chris Devenski and the Houston Astros avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract worth $1,525,000.
The deal contains a $2,625,000 team option for 2020, and the option price could escalate based on games in 2019: $2,725,000 for 50, $2,825,000 for 60 and $2,925,000 for 68.
The agreement is at the midpoint of the $1.4 million the 28-year-old right-hander asked for and the $1.65 million he had been offered.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — With another dominant pitching performance, the Houston Astros didn't need much offense — or luck — to tie a franchise record for road wins.

PHOENIX (AP) — A.J. Pollock got the pitch he was looking for, and while his game-winning hit wasn't a long line drive, it got the job done.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — In two seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Charlie Culberson hit only two home runs. But one clinched a playoff berth and the other came in the 11th inning of a World Series game.
"I don't have a whole lot of major league at-bats," he said. "But yeah, those were two fun swings."
The 28-year-old infielder was traded in December to the Atlanta Braves, who are scheduled to open their exhibition season Friday against the New York Mets at Port St. Lucie.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — George Springer screamed with joy as he circled the bases after hitting a two-run homer in the 11th inning.
Would it be enough? Was this the final plot twist on one of the wildest nights in postseason history?
Yes, it was — barely — and the Houston Astros won a World Series game for the first time in their 56 seasons.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — 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.
Back-to-back meltdowns by their bullpen and an offense that managed only five runs in 18 innings against struggling Oakland resulted in a doubleheader sweep for the Athletics.
BALTIMORE (AP) — A commanding lead had been reduced to one run during a wild ninth inning, and the Houston Astros found themselves turning to their closer to hold off the Baltimore Orioles.
In the end, the best team in the American League found a way to win — again.
Rookie Yuli Gurriel had a career-high four hits, including a home run, and the Astros squeezed out an 8-7 victory on Friday night to end Baltimore's four-game winning streak.
