HOUSTON — Framber Valdez struck out 10 in five shutout innings to lead the Houston Astros to 3-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in the regular-season finale. Christian Vazquez hit a solo homer and Chas McCormick and Yordan Alvarez drove in runs early to help Houston to its fourth victory in five games. It was the career-best 17th win for Valdez (17-6), which ranks second in the American League behind teammate Justin Verlander's 18.
