Jose Altuve - Cracks pair of doubles in winAltuve went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in Friday's 5-2 victory over the Guardians.

ImpactThe Houston second baseman knocked two doubles of starter Joey Cantillo for his 30th and 31st two-baggers of the season. This performance hopefully snaps Altuve out of a cold spell, as he entered the contest hitting just .154 (6-for-39) over his last nine games. Overall, the nine-time All-Star is slashing .295/.350/.439 with 20 homers, 94 runs scored, 65 runs scored and 22 steals in 682 plate appearances across 153 games this season.

ImpactThe Houston right-hander had pitched to a 0.95 ERA over 19 September frames entering this this game and wrapped with his third scoreless start of the month. Blanco yielded just a single hit -- a Will Brennan single in the fifth inning -- as he stymied the Guardians over his 86 total pitches. The 31-year-old caps a brilliant breakout season in which he was a fantasy star, producing a 2.80 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 166:68 K:BB across 167.1 innings, including a no-hitter April 1.

Joey Cantillo - Hit hard in lossCantillo (2-4) took the loss Friday against Houston, pitching 3.2 innings while allowing three runs on six hits and two walks. He struck out seven.

ImpactThe Cleveland southpaw entered this contest on a hot streak, firing a 1.10 ERA across 16.1 innings in September, but met his match in this 93-pitch outing. Cantillo got a taste of what the playoffs could look like as the Astros laced three doubles off him out of their six total base knocks. The 24-year-old did manage to salvage the start slightly, notching six or more punchouts for the fourth consecutive time. Cantillo wraps his rookie campaign with a 4.89 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 44:15 K:BB across 38.1 innings.
